About us
KAYANI (كياني) is a non-profit organization that strives to advance services and sustainable social initiatives for and within Palestinian society in Israel and East Jerusalem and to advocate for change on the institutional and societal level.
Our name, meaning “my being” in Arabic, reflects our mission – placing the needs of individuals and organizations in local Palestinian communities in the center and translating these needs into rights and actions while emphasizing the diversity of voices and activities in local Palestinian society in all public, official, and community frameworks.
In the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic and a global health, social, environmental, and economic crisis, we believe that there is a need for far-reaching structural changes in varied realms: employment, education, higher education, consumer and leisure habits, and environment, in order to deal with a dynamic and changing reality.
We have built a network of 50 social activists Sustainability Guidance in diverse fields of expertise, all striving to advance this mission on the personal, community, and societal levels.
