Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We're a very mixed group of professionals and students from across the UAE who sincerely wish to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate Palestinian youth. To that end, we aim to raise awareness about PACES and its work, and hope to raise funds by running as a team in the 2016 Dubai Marathon.

Your involvement and contributions will help PACES maintain and grow its much-needed and successful work that provides sports programs to thousands of children and creates much-needed employment to hundreds of coaches living under dire economic conditions. 

PACES is at the forefront of the empowerment of girls and  gender equality: it has maintained from the very first day a 50% ratio of girls in its programs and an over-whelming majority of the management has always been comprised of highly-qualified and dedicate Arab women.

Furthermore, PACES’ programs help fight potential radicalisation by giving hope through healthy structured programs to thousands of boys who would otherwise be on the streets with nothing to do but sitting around in utter hopelessness.

PACES makes it a priority to become involved in all aspect of the girls’ and boys’ lives: from health and hygiene, to awareness about the perils of drugs and smoking, to environmental and scholastic issues, it leaves no stone unturned in its quest to improve the lives of our children and the oppressive conditions under which they live.

Though it was never the aim to create national teams, PACES is nonetheless very proud that a large number of our girls and boys play on the Palestinian and Jordanian national teams. Dedicate coaches ensure disciple, sportsmanship, and work-ethic are always most prominent among what we teach and instil in the PACES children.

For these mentioned reasons, we would greatly appreciate it if you take the time to show us some support by donating and/or sharing our cause on your personal social media platforms. 

Our time is up and we thank you for yours!
