30.  Lifegate Rehabilitation, Beit Jala, is a charity with a goal to help the Gate of Life stay open for disabled people, both very slow learners and those with severe physical needs. They do assessment of needs, help with treatment, have social rehabilitation groups with Muslims and Christians and organize meetings for mothers of the disabled as well as provide income generating project training. 13 men and 16 women currently develop self-esteem and confidence as they are accepted and integrated into various activities.  Technical skills hopefully enable the youths to find jobs outside the centre after initial training.  Carpentry, blacksmith, shoe repair, tailoring, knitting and traditional crafts are taught. With our grant they bought equipment for a home worker.
