The Palestinian Heritage Center (PHC) was established in the year 1991, borne by a family who envisioned and dreamt of preserving and sharing with the world the true beauty of Palestinian people and their heritage.
The Center is headed by the original Founder and Director, Maha Saca, who incessantly work towards reviving, documenting, and promoting Palestinian culture through various events; local and international publications, speaking engagements, exhibitions, and performances have been received very well by audiences around the world. Nevertheless, the truest form of our people’s long standing cultural achievement and pride can be seen and experienced at our Center’s permanent exhibit in the city of Bethlehem.
Please refer to our (AWARDS AND HONORS) link to find out more about our recent endeavors.
Since inception, PHC has had the most profound affect in the local community by providing employment to artisans from area villages and refugee camps throughout Bethlehem and West Bank regions. Too often it has been true that the earning from the Center is the sole source of income for the artisans and their families. This dire circumstance is attributed to the current political situation where most Palestinian men are not able or allowed to find adequate work to support himself and or his household; limitations such as curfew enforcement, lack of job availability, work permits and other restrictions may have abbreviated our peoples’ sprit at times, but only reinforces the necessity to further preserve the Palestinian heritage. Above and beyond offering employment opportunities and sources of income, PHC has been providing these families a sense of independence and dignity amidst total poverty and political turbulence.
The PHC has been able to create a small revenue stream by proceeds from various events and retail sales of artisans’ creations both locally and through our web portal. Furthermore, the day-to-day operation has been made possible by full support and continuous volunteer efforts of Director Saca’s family members.
To maintain this work of preserving the history and meaning behind the beautiful Palestinian traditions for the betterment of future generations, we very much need your financial support. Please see (CURRENT PROJECTS) link to find more about how your generous donations can help.
Your monetary contribution will allow the Palestinian Heritage Center to continue its important mission of protecting an amazing culture from fading while providing the community around the city of Bethlehem with solid and dignified means of employment.
We thank you in advance for your support and please visit us in Bethlehem!
