The Founding Story

Welcome to Under the Olive Tree (تحت الزيتونة) where we talk all things social innovation in Palestine.
Join us each week as we honestly ask the question: what will make real impact on the ground? Because continuing the status quo is not an option– we need new, creative ideas that will uplift our community.
At BuildPalestine, we believe this will come from the people.
You’ll hear from social entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, policymakers, impact investors, teachers, mothers, taxi drivers and more as we dream together under the olive tree.
