::: NECC IDENTITY

The Gaza Area Committee is part of the Department of Service to the Palestine Refugee (DSPR).  The DSPR is a department of the Middle East Council of Churches.  NECCCRW Gaza is an integral part of the Palestine Society and culture and operates with the support of the Churches, ecumenical and secular organizations.

NECCCRW continued to operate the two Family Health Care Centres serving the Shija'ia and Darraj/Tuffah areas in addition to the third one newly opened in Kherbet El Adas in Rafah.  These areas of Gaza and Rafah Cities are amongst the most over-crowded and under-served areas.  Preventive and curative services vary slightly between the three centres.

The mission of the Near East Council of Churches Committee for Refugee Work (NECCCRW) in the Gaza Area is aimed at the empowerment and strengthening of Palestinian individuals and communities to help them secure a better quality of life.  We seek the development of the whole human being by providing education, training and health services that enhance well-being, self-reliance and community participation in decision making and managing their affairs.

The courses have good reputation amongst employers giving the graduates better chances than others to find work due to the emphasis placed on quality and the good care being given to the trainees.
