ACF is an international non-governmental, private, apolitical, non-religious and non-profit organization created in 1979. Its goal is to combat hunger and dangerous situations that threaten men, women and children. Currently 500 expats and more than 5,000 employees are working for ACF in more than forty-six countries working in projects concerning four areas of focus: nutrition, health, food security and water and sanitation.
ACF-Spain is present in the Palestinian Territory since September 2002. ACF’s mission mandate in the Palestinian Territories is to support the vulnerable population affected by the crisis. ACF aims to reinforce communities’ autonomy by improving their coping strategies and their access to basic services and a sustainable livelihood.
In many rural and isolated villages, ACF is supporting the provision of drinking water for the most vulnerable Palestinian households. Through the building of rainwater collection and storage systems and water treatment, access to safe water is re-established and the risk of water-related diseases and epidemics has been significantly reduced. ACF also rehabilitates and extends water networks. We repair pumping and booster stations and build reservoirs.
