Lajee Celtic is a community sports club based in Aida refugee camp, Bethlehem, occupied Palestine. All of our programmes (football, boxing, table tennis) are provided completely free to every participant to maintain open and accessible opportunities and facilities for everyone in the community.

Your donation directly funds coaching, equipment, facilities, international tours and the day-to-day running of programmes and facilities that serve over 200 children and young people. 

Your donation also supports the development of our new Club premises and multi-sport pitch. These spaces will serve Aida camp and the wider Bethlehem community for years to come, allowing us to offer more opportunities to more people.

Your support doesn’t just sustain sports programmes, it has material impact on the quality of life of our young people. Beyond sports, our programmes promote social connections  across Palestinian refugee camps and cities that are subject to closure, isolation and repression by the colonial occupation

Lajee Celtic isn’t just supporting athletes’ development within sport, we are building spaces for connection, recreation, wellbeing and inclusion despite the challenges of colonial violence our children and young people face.

Thank you!
