Who We Are

Reach Education Fund (REF)

REF is a 501c3 nonprofit organization established in 2014 to reach, educate and inspire distinguished students in Palestine.

To reach, educate, and inspire Palestinian students by aiding in their educational, personal, and professional development through scholarship and mentorship

Palestinian students were deprived of pursuing their academic dreams due to political unrest and financial difficulties, yet, the ones whom were given a chance excelled. It’s every individual’s dream to grow up in a world less tumultuous, where they are able to go to school and become who they want to be. Reach Education Fund serves as a bridge for hope, success, and peace.

Reach Education Fund seeks to identify Palestinian students in the West Bank and Gaza who possess remarkable character, drive, passion, and a commitment to contribute positively to their communities and the world.
