In'ash Al-Usra

   The Society of Inash Al-Usra is a Palestinian voluntary organization established in 1965 in Al Bireh near Ramallah by Sameeha Khalil, a pioneering figure in social and political change. The Society offers services and programs to Palestinian women and other marginalized sectors of the community as a means of empowering them and enhancing the family institution, thus contributing to the development of Palestinian society as a whole. Inash Al-Usra is a pioneer organization led by powerful women who are tirelessly working towards achieving freedom, equity, and independence in Palestinian society.

   Inash Al-Usra has a long history of women empowerment through its embroidery project, which has supported over 5,000 women with raw materials and trainings to produce embroidered pieces, generate income and preserve the distinct patterns and designs of Palestinian culture and its different regions. Today, they have a fixed exhibition that is open daily to display the products. The Society has also been extensively developing the cultural centre, a research and documentation centre specialized in Palestinian cultural heritage. Additionally, the Society works on food catering, food processing and production of frozen pastries and much more.
