The National Society for Rehabilitation, NSR – Gaza Strip

The National Society for Rehabilitation, hereafter known as NSR - Gaza strip was established in 1990. It started working under the title “National Committee for Rehabilitation in Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza Strip until 1993. At that time, there was a clear lack of services and rehabilitation in particular. Then, NSR was registered at the Ministry of Interior under No. 2095 as a charitable organization.

It was initially composed of the following members:- (Red Crescent Society, Near East Council of Churches /DSPR-Gaza, Arab Women Union, Central Blood Bank Society, YMCA, Ahly-Arab Hospital, UNRWA, Arab-Medical Association). In 1993, NSR started its activities in Beach Refugee and Bureij Refugee Camps, through building the first model of Community-Based Rehabilitation Program (CBRP). Then, as a result of achievements, NSR has generalized the concept of CBR and administered it over 25 geographical localities in the Gaza strip, which includes four governorates; Rafah, Khan Younis, Middle Zone, and Gaza. Thus, CBR covers about 75% of the total area of Gaza strip and population. But NSR works in all over the Gaza Strip. 

As part of a partnership agreement signed with Handicap International in order to implement a project funded by MOFA Luxemburg entitled “Multi-stakeholder initiative towards a more effective response to Persons with Disabilities' needs and demands in the State of Palestine”; Also, a project funded by and EU / NSA entitled “Fostering multi-stakeholders mobilization for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in their community in marginalized areas of oPt”,  

The projects will respond to common inclusion challenges in North Gaza, Gaza, and Middle Area by focusing on three main strategies of intervention: technical support to managers, professionals and community workers providing services to PWDs; development of multi-stakeholder collaboration mechanisms; and support to referral networks in particular to socio-economic services.
