The Protect the Harvest Campaign offers a unique opportunity to stand alongside Palestinian farming communities during the annual olive harvest. Based in villages either near Bethlehem or Jerusalem, participants spend a week working in the olive groves, sharing meals with local families, and supporting farmers during one of the most culturally and economically significant seasons of the year.
Through hands-on participation, cultural exchange, and meaningful relationships with local communities, participants gain a deeper understanding of life in the West Bank and the challenges facing agricultural communities. The experience is complemented by educational workshops, discussions, and community-led activities that explore themes of resilience, nonviolent advocacy, and everyday life in the region, creating a powerful and immersive learning experience.
MEJDI Tours is one of several partner organizations supporting the Protect the Harvest experience and serves as the local logistics coordinator.
