Help us close the staggering unemployment Gap in Palestine

Empowering Unemployed Youth in Palestine

Education For Employment (EFE) is the leading nonprofit that trains youth and links them to jobs across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This pivotal region is the hardest place on the planet for youth to get their first job – they are three times more likely to be unemployed than older adults.

Palestine is one of the hardest places in the world for a young person to find a job, with almost 36% of youth unemployed. EFE-Palestine is working towards changing that.
