    Future Home of the Ammuriya Children’s Park

    In the West Bank village of Ammuriya, near Nablus, hundreds of children grow up without a safe space to play. Both Ammuriya and its neighboring villages lack any recreational areas or playgrounds. Families often travel to Nablus or Salfit for the simplest moments of leisure — but with difficult economic and security conditions, many avoid such trips altogether. We’re changing that. Together with the community, we’re transforming a 350-square-meter piece of village land into a safe, joyful park where children can play, imagine, and belong.

    This new space will include:
    🌿 Playgrounds and Equipment – swings, slides, and structures that spark imagination.
    🌳 Seating Areas and Pavilion – trees, benches, and shaded gathering spaces where families can rest, connect, and watch their children play.
    ☀️ Open Spaces – for running, connecting with nature, and laughter.

    Support Needed for West Bank Primary Students

    Children in the West Bank face disrupted school attendance, leading to serious learning gaps. Primary school students are especially vulnerable. Some need support programs to strengthen core skills, while others benefit from programs designed to expand their intellectual and creative abilities. Without intervention, both groups risk falling short of their potential. This project ensures continuity of education by providing support for students with learning gaps and pioneering enrichment opportunities for advanced learners — giving every child the chance to thrive.

    Establishment and Rehabilitation of West Bank Kindergarten and Early Childhood Center

    In the West Bank villages of Ammuriyah and Khirbet Qais, about 100 young children have no local kindergarten. Both villages depend on agriculture as their main source of livelihood, and families face many challenges balancing work and childcare.

    Without a local kindergarten, families have no choice but to send their children to distant villages — a reality that creates financial hardship and safety risks.

    That’s why the community has made the establishment of Ammuriyah Kindergarten and Early Childhood Center a top priority.

    Together, we are transforming a modest local building into a vibrant, safe, and educational space for 50–100 children aged 4–5 years — right in their own village.

    With just $10,000, we will:

    Rehabilitate and furnish classrooms with tables and chairs

    Provide learning materials, boards, and markers

    Install indoor and outdoor play equipment

    Create and landscape a shaded play yard and small garden

    Provide a recreational and childcare space during summer breaks

    This kindergarten will not only nurture early learning but also make life easier for families — giving parents peace of mind and giving children the chance to play, learn, and belong close to home.

    Together, we are giving Ammuriyah’s children a place to begin — a place filled with joy, safety, and growth.

Why Stand With Samaa Kids

At Samaa Kids, we believe children deserve more than survival. They deserve joy, dignity, and the chance to dream. What makes us different is not only what we do, but how we do it. Every program is built with children and communities, not simply for them.

Child-centered. We put children’s voices at the heart of every decision.
Community-led. Programs are co-created with local families, local educators, and local partners.
Transparent and accountable. We share openly how resources are used, building trust every step of the way.
Bridging the gap. We connect the field and the funder, ensuring resources reach children with dignity and care.
Strength, vision, and love. These guide everything we do: strength to face hardship, vision to imagine more, and love to hold children at the center.

When you choose to stand with Samaa Kids, whether by donating, partnering, or advocating, you become part of a movement that restores possibility to children.

For That One

Many of us grew up with the Starfish Story - the reminder that even small acts of care can matter deeply. Like the starfish along the shoreline, children in Palestine face more than any child should. And like the child in the story, we show up with care for the one in front of us. At Samaa Kids, we hold this truth close.

We cannot change the entire shoreline-

But we can reach for the family and child in front of us. With warmth, with care, with dignity.

And for that one life, it truly matters.
