YCC is a non-profit cultural NGO that was formed through an initiative by the Committee for the Defense of Palestinian Refugee Rights. We work to improve the cultural and intellectual condition of Palestinians by providing them with a space in which to develop their talents and skills, and to enrich their awareness of their national rights through civic education particularly in areas of democracy and human rights.

The building is part of the Yafa Cultural Center (YCC), an NGO licensed in 1998 by the Palestinian Ministry of Culture. We have been running a guesthouse within the Balata Camp in Nablus to invite travelers to meet and learn about the Palestinian culture and history.

Balata camp is located in the northern West Bank in Nablus city. Originally intended to serve approximately 5,000 Palestine refugees, it is today the largest camp in the West Bank. Under the supervision of the branch of the United Nations for refugees, UNRWA and the authority of Palestine.
