Peeling paint, rusted doors, and lacking basic sanitation had rendered it unfit for any activity. The community, struggling with scarce resources, had been unable to restore it.<\/p>\n<p>However, As-Sura is not unique. Throughout the West Bank, children in many villages face a harsh reality with no place safe to play, meet friends, or enjoy moments of innocence.<\/p>\n<p>The situation has only worsened since late 2023, as regional conflict and tensions increased. Schools are often closed, and there is a constant threat of violence. The crisis has escalated, leading to more checkpoints and increasing economic hardships. As a result, many children cannot leave their homes and are isolated from their friends. Being cut off from their social circles and regular activities, these children are experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety, and trauma, which can have long-lasting effects.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103432\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103432\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-103432 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"A boy looks into the camera, pausing from drawing on a roll of paper spread across the turf.

In As-Sura, the transformation began with a&nbsp;dedicated group of volunteers and the village council. They, in partnership with World Vision, joined forces to rehabilitate the community center. Over several weeks, they repainted walls, installed new bathrooms, and added water tanks to supply clean drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>The impact was immediate and profound. The revitalized center has quickly become a warm haven for the children of As-Sura, a place where they can meet, play, and reclaim moments of childhood. Soon after the center was rehabilitated, World Vision relaunched its&nbsp;Makani&nbsp;(&ldquo;my place&rdquo; in Arabic) club, offering&nbsp;163 children, ages 6 to 12, an opportunity&nbsp;to gather,&nbsp;learn essential life skills, and be kids in a safe and normal space.&nbsp;<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&ldquo;I have made a lot of new friends, and I love coming here,&rdquo; said 9-year-old Jumana, her face lighting up with joy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103435\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103435\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103435 size-full lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"A row of children sitting at desks smile at the camera.

Over nine days, 160 children in As-Sura, along with close to 10,000 others in camps throughout the West Bank, enjoyed various activities within a safe environment. Each day, they also took part in&nbsp;psychosocial support recreational activities, which were designed&nbsp;to reduce stress and tension through sports, arts, and playful interactions.<\/p>\n<p>As-Sura&rsquo;s story is just one example of World Vision&rsquo;s broader efforts in the West Bank. Between October 2023 and August 2024, we built or renovated 26 safe spaces in the West Bank. We also offered mental health and psychosocial support programs in over 100 villages, supporting over 28,000 children and adults.<\/p>\n<p>World Vision&rsquo;s emergency response has impacted the lives of families in more than 155 villages across the West Bank, offering hope, healing, and an opportunity for children to reclaim precious moments that are childhood experiences. In places like As-Sura, these efforts are more than just a program &mdash; they are a lifeline.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103434\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103434\" style=\"width: 907px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103434 size-full lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"Two girls, one wearing a yellow baseball cap, glance up at the camera with smiles, taking a moment away from drawing.\" width=\"907\" height=\"907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14114136\/W192-0257-016.jpg 907w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14114136\/W192-0257-016-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14114136\/W192-0257-016-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14114136\/W192-0257-016-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14114136\/W192-0257-016-566x566.jpg 566w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14114136\/W192-0257-016-760x760.jpg 760w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14114136\/W192-0257-016-850x850.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2024\/10\/14114136\/W192-0257-016.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-103434\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Children during the summer camp in As-Sura in the West Bank.
