A Journey of Growth and Empowerment for Women in NWS

Across Bangladesh’s poverty pockets, a quiet transformation is underway led not by handouts, but by empowerment.

Over the past 18 months, the West Bank has faced a worsening humanitarian crisis. In response, World Vision has expanded its mental health support through the “Enhanced Access to Mental Health Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Services for Vulnerable Communities” project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). At the heart of this initiative is Group Problem Management Plus (GPM+), a community-based intervention designed to equip women with practical tools to manage stress, solve everyday problems, and regain a sense of control.
