Established in Beit Jala in 1982, Dar Al-Shuyukh Society emerged in response to an urgent need recognized by a group of dedicated individuals seeking to create a warm and comfortable environment for elderly and retired community members. Since its inception, the Society has maintained one core mission: enabling seniors to spend their leisure time meaningfully and enjoyably within a peaceful atmosphere that preserves their dignity and keeps them at the heart of social life.
The Society’s founding was inspired by the growing needs of an aging population segment. After intensive planning and community efforts, Dar Al-Shuyukh obtained official registration with the Ministry of Social Affairs in 1984 as a charitable organization, culminating in the election of its first administrative board on October 15, 1986.
