The Parenthood and Family Department at the Umm Al-Fahm Community Center is expanding its educational, social, and religious programs for girls, women, and families. The initiative aims to provide quality frameworks that combine education, personal development, and the strengthening of social values and ties, creating safe spaces for women and girls to participate and gain skills.

Key among these activities is the Noor Al-Bayan Academy for memorizing and teaching the Quran, now in its sixth year. The academy serves students from elementary to high school, alongside specialized courses for women and university students, covering Quran memorization, interpretation, and recitation. The academy also launched the second season of the "The Quran is Our Intercessor" competition for elementary students in Umm Al-Fahm, concluding in April, with prizes to encourage memorization and mastery.

Additionally, the "Energy and Capabilities" group for middle and high school girls has begun, focusing on developing life skills, self-confidence, communication, and decision-making. This program aims to empower young women to face future challenges with awareness and stability.

In a social initiative, the department organized a trip to Jerusalem for women from the Tuesday and Wednesday councils, sponsored by Hanan Company for Elderly Services. The trip included prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque and a lunch in Kafr Qasim, attended by Tawfiq Haj Awad, Mohammed Saleh Ighbaria, and Andalus Ighbaria.

The academy also honored Aya Yahya Jabareen and Aisha Abdul Jawad Mahamid, graduates who successfully passed the state medical exam, celebrating their achievement as a blend of religious commitment and academic excellence. This follows their prior honor for memorizing the Quran, serving as an inspiration for aspiring students.

The Umm Al-Fahm Community Center emphasizes its role in providing continuous educational, social, and cultural frameworks for women and girls, viewing them as essential for building a cohesive society. The Parenthood and Family Department plans to further develop its programs to meet the needs of Umm Al-Fahm residents.
