Administrative history: Arab Development Society (1945-)

The Arab Development Society was established in 1945 and worked to assure the welfare

of Arab refugees following the British withdrawal from Palestine in 1948. Using the

remainder of funds assigned to the Arab Development Society by the Arab League

Economic Committee in 1945, combined with some personal capital, in 1949 Musa Alami

engaged a project to dig for water on an area of land north-east of Jericho. The land was

then cultivated and a small experimental farm set up. By 1951 the farm was more or less

established and by 1955 was capable of large scale cultivation. The Farm was used to

accommodate, educate and give vocational training to orphaned children. These children

were not supported by the United Nations Relief Agency, as this only dealt with the heads

of families. At the Arab Development Society Farm and Vocational Training Centre,

orphaned Palestinian boys learned how to farm, were schooled and also trained in

vocational skills including electrical engineering, weaving, carpentry and metalwork, for

which there was significant demand in the Arab World at the time. The Arab Development

Society Farm and Vocational Training Centre received significant damage during rioting in

Nov 1955. The Centre managed to recover with the help of charitable donations, but was

then more or less destroyed in the events of the 1967 war and its aftermath. The Farm and

Vocational Centre were re-established to some extent with assistance from Friends

organisations in the United Kingdom and USA. These organisations continued to support

the Centre‟s projects and Musa Alami‟s legacy. Musa Alami was a Palestinian Nationalist

and Philanthropist (1897-1984). Born in Jerusalem, he studied at Cambridge and later

worked for the legal department of the Palestinian Government. He died in June 1984. The

Friends of the Arab Development Society was established in the UK in 1961 with E.C.

Hodgkin as Chairman and Sir Geoffrey Furlonge as Treasurer. A parallel organisation, the


GB165-0324


Musa Alami Foundation of Jericho, was also set up in the USA, with Dr. John H. Davis

acting as President.

Scope and content: Pamphlets, reports, newspaper cuttings and correspondence relating to

the Arab Development Society, the life of its founder Musa Alami and details of the

Society‟s legacy and supporters. Also includes an album of professional photographs,

along with loose photographs, documenting the work of the Arab Development Society.
