The Silwan Athletic Club is a community club serving the needs of the
neighborhood of Silwan, East Jerusalem. Our

transformed to meet the needs of an endangered community. We aim to
actively contribute to the development of our community in Silwan and
in Jerusalem. We do this through putting emphasis on supporting our
youth and women, and helping them to achieve their full potential. We
also aim to address the needs and desires of the community as a whole,
especially in the areas of sports and the preservation and development
of cultural knowledge and identity.
