Our Programs
1
Economic Empowerment
Focusing on women, the objective of this program is to support entrepreneurship as a means to create job opportunities and achieve economic prosperity. By encouraging people to start their own businesses, opportunities are created. At the same time, the program supports existing business owners to grow their businesses. The program provides training to entrepreneurs, to help them advance their business skills and vocational skills. It also provides business consulting services to business owners.
Another aspect of the program is to advocate for the role of entrepreneurship as a way to achieve economic growth and development.
The main focus of the program is women and youth. The program is striving to provide opportunities for the two groups which are usually at a disadvantage when it comes to the opportunity to start and grow their own businesses.

Education
Education is key to development. It is a long term investment in the future of any nation. Our education program aims to support education provision and quality, building on networking with educators around the world, and making use of opportunities created by technology.
Our education program has the following components:
a. Education quality: we work with educators and donors to support their efforts to improve the quality of education by supporting school management, and providing other interventions.
b. Education availability: many children, especially those in conflict-struck areas are facing increasing challenges in accessing school, securing the basic education resources. Our goal is to intervene and support equal access to education, particularly for girls.
c. Literacy: many children do not reach the level of literacy early enough to allow them to make the best use of their education. This component aims at helping children to read, and encourage reading among children in general.

Many people are suffering from various emergency situations that require providing direct assistance. In this program, we aim to provide these people with support to help them survive the crisis situation. Our approach is to:
1- Depend on local helpers as much as possible.
2- Use local resources and supplies whenever feasible.
3- Work with private providers.
4- While delivering emergency support, we work towards creating sustainable solutions.
Be the Change
We believe that every person has the ability to contribute to the positive change in his/her life and in the life of the community. Everyone of us can be the change, and needs to be the change.
If you believe in improving your life and the life of your community, we invite you to get involved with us.
