ACLAÍ Palestine is a community gym located in the Lajee Centre in the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem, West Bank Palestine. We opened in 2020 thanks to the support from many people who backed the project and the hard work of our Irish and Palestinian team. Our mission is to:
1. Improve the health and quality of life of our participants.
2. Provide sporting opportunities for young people in the Aida camp.
3. Support the mission of Lajee Center and the Aida community.
ACLAÍ Palestine is funded completely independently and every penny raised goes directly into the development of the project, equipment, and paying the salaries of our Palestinian team.
The use of the gym is free of charge for the men, women, and children of the Aida refugee camp, as well as our participants who come from the nearby Al-Azzah and Deheisheh camps, which means we are dependent on our ongoing fundraising efforts to keep the project going.
You can follow the progress of ACLAÍ Palestine on our Instagram account @aclai_palestine, and also through our website aclai.ie.
Thank you very much for your support!
