Bethlehem Development Foundation (BDF)

Overview

In May 2012 Mr. Khoury established the Bethlehem Development Foundation (BDF) to implement the Strategic Action Plan that has evolved out of this initiative. Since its establishment BDF has been keen on achieving the goals set forth by the Development Initiative and on moving closer to realizing the core vision of Mr. Khoury’s Initiative.

Efforts begin with the supporting the restoration of the Nativity Church, the rehabilitation and beautification of Manger Square in Bethlehem, elevating Christmas festivities and continue with the management of Solid Waste throughout the Bethlehem Governorate. The quality of public life is enhanced through the introduction of several community sports and children’s playgrounds throughout the municipalities of Beit Sahour, Beit Jala and Al-Doha.
