Thanks to your generous donations and the hard work of a group of Palestinian mothers, more than 400 children had healthy snacks and meals each and every day of the school year. The free breakfasts for kindergarten children are especially important to ensure children grow up healthy.
The unemployment rate in Al Ma’sara has reached about 40% according to a survey by the Applied Research Institute. This project now not only provides healthy food for children but also gives a small income to women in the village to help them support their families.
We will be using the summer months to plan for the next school year and will be updating you soon on plans.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can recieve an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
