Project Al-Karmel Club
2016 - 2018 was the most recent project period. It was concluded and an application for continuation of the project has been sent to Forum Syd. It is a development project with a focus on Gender and the Environment. Over the years, the project has worked with five target groups - Women - Preschool - Youth - Disabled - Men.
The preschool had a maximum of 105 children enrolled. The children are 4 and 5 years old. At the age of 6, they start school. The preschool children learn the numbers and to read simple words in Arabic and English. The creative games are important. The well-trained staff sees each student and gives them the support they need. The parents regularly attend meetings with the staff and have received training in nutrition. The children's health has improved. Yogurt and fruit are served to the children.
