2023–2024 Fellow Denisse Griselda Reyes has partnered with the Rural Women’s Association to raise funds for Palestinian women and their families.

The Rural Women’s Association is a grassroots organization founded in 2015, formed to organize educational, artistic, and cultural activities aimed at empowering children, youth, and women. Donations support crucial initiatives such as educational workshops, literacy classes, and psychological services that uplift Palestinian communities, and also aid in promoting sustainable income projects like traditional crafts and agriculture, empowering women to not only support their families but also to become leaders in their communities. These programs are vital in overcoming the challenges faced in rural areas, enhancing children’s wellbeing, and providing women with the tools they need for economic independence.
