JAEP John Aves Education Project
In partnership with JAEP John Aves Education Project, we provides scholarships to bright and disadvantaged young people to fulfill their potential and continue their education in their own communities. The Project works with universities in the Holy Land to identify deserving students from Dheisheh Refugee Camp capable of making a positive impact. Today JAEP and IBDAA have given scholarships to 99 young adults (77 girls and 22 boys) from Dheisheh till 2025.
JAEP John Aves Education Project was founded to fulfill the vision of Canon Dr. John Aves. by providing financial support to young people from Dheisheh to study at their local universities. Dr. John Aves was a man of faith who was filled with hope in mankind because of the people he met in Dheisheh.
