About Us

In 1999 Al-Quds University created the “Community Action Center” (“CAC”), a semi-autonomous association, which aims to empower the Palestinian community in East Jerusalem. The CAC, located in the Old City of East Jerusalem as well as in the Al-Abraj Buildings in Abu Dis, is a Palestinian non-profit community rights-based organization. The main headquarters of CAC is situated in a beautiful 800-year-old building, originally a St. Julian Church, renovated by Al-Quds University in cooperation with the Welfare Association.

Through its professional staff of different backgrounds and expertise, the CAC aims to empower the disadvantaged Palestinians of East Jerusalem to access their rights and entitlements and negotiate the complex bureaucratic procedures that control the flow of these rights. This mandate translates into empowering local residents to organize to solve collective problems with particular attention to social and economic inequality and to mobilize their own volunteer capacity.

 

Our vision is to advocacy, empowerment, support, and activation of the roles of individuals, groups, organizations, and different community categories especially the marginalized ones to change the policies and legislation that aim to access social and economic rights which contribute to developing the civil community in Jerusalem and Palestine in general.
