Oxford Ramallah Friendship Association (ORFA) is a Non-Sectarian voluntary organisation, building grassroots links between civil society groups and individuals in Oxford in the UK and Ramallah in Palestine.
Our main aim is to offer people in Ramallah support in terms of making their stories known and other practical ways, and to reduce their sense of isolation and desperation. ORFA is concerned with human contact at an individual level, to promote understanding and friendship.
