The East Jerusalem YMCA and the YWCA of Palestine have initiated a campaign to replant olive trees from areas where they have been uprooted by the Israeli occupation army. The campaign goal is to replant 50,000 olive trees in the Palestinian Territories with the sponsorship of YMCAs and YWCAs, as well as churches and other groups and individuals around the world. Through replanting olive trees, Palestinians will be encouraged to keep hope alive and to reaffirm their commitment to work constructively toward peace-building.

The amount of U.S.$ 20 covers the cost of the young plant, distribution, planting, and information for farmers on the best techniques for olive tree care and production improvement. The cost also covers an official certificate, a sponsor label to be inscribed with the sponsor’s name, and miscellaneous implementation costs of the project.
