The Laurice Khoury Foundation provides support to disabled undergraduate Palestinian university students through partnerships with universities and advocates on their behalf.
During his visit to Palestine in 2018, Dr. Khoury realized that over 140 students with disabilities were enrolled at Al-Najah National University in his hometown of Nablus. In 2023, this number rose to 208. Al-Najah National University is just one university among many others. LKF was established for the sole purpose of supporting disabled Palestinian college students.
