Unrwa Helps Small Palestinian Entrepreneurs

Since its establishment more than fifty years ago, UNRWA has been the main provider of relief assistance and other basic services to the Palestinian refugees. A new micro-finance programme is providing loans to Palestinians, refugees and non-refugees, to start small businesses as a way of generating income. Since the prospect of the finding jobs is limited, this programme will allow Palestinians to become self-employed and to escape from the cycle of poverty.
