Administrative History

The Arab Development Society (ADS) was established in 1945 by Palenstinian leader Musa Bey Alami. Located near Jericho, the ADS provides education and vocational training for Arab youth. Their operations are largely financed by their dairy operations, including yogurt and cheese production. Brigham Young University provided a donation of cattle to ADS in 1961.
