Holy Land Trust
Holy Land Trust is a Palestinian non-profit organization founded in Palestine in 1998 that works to strengthen the resilience, dignity, and wellbeing of Palestinians living under prolonged social and political injustice.
For over three decades, Holy Land Trust has developed innovative programs that combine trauma-informed care, community support, leadership development, and international engagement. Through these initiatives, the organization supports individuals and communities in transforming trauma into hope, strengthening social cohesion, and fostering conditions that enable people to live with dignity, safety, and resilience.
Holy Land Trust is a trauma-informed organization. By adopting a trauma-informed approach, the organization has developed a contextually grounded methodology that guides all its work. This methodology is implemented through trauma-sensitive methods, tools, interventions, and practices across all programs and projects.
HLTworks with youth, women, educators, artists, and community leaders across Palestine to create safe spaces for sharing, creativity, learning, and civic engagement. Through trauma-informed approaches, creative expression, and community-based initiatives, the organization equips individuals and communities with tools, knowledge, and guidance that strengthen resilience and enable them to shape a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future.
