Definition of Peace-Building Through Health and its application to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Healing Across the Divides is committed to peace-building through health. Its mission is improving the health of women and individuals with common chronic diseases, such as diabetes, via community-based interventions. Funding for Healing Across the Divides comes from both American private donors and foundations; there is no government funding. Peace-building through health is an expectation and a mission objective, but considering the ongoing challenges in the IsraeliĀPalestinian conflict, we view peace-building through health as a hoped-for byproduct, rather than our overarching focus. Healing Across the Divides aims, at a minimum, to improve the health status of marginalized Palestinian and Israeli individuals.
