Children are representing 65% of the overall population of Deheishe refugee camp. The educational process is uncomfortable and incomplete (low level of education, more than 45 students in one classroom, not enough classrooms, insufficient teaching aids). Moreover, the parents cannot supply necessary needs for children. As a result, children are forced to work in order to compensate for the shortage of funds.
There is a severe lack of playgrounds or youth services to accommodate these thousands of children. The only available area for them are the streets, which are dangerous due to passing traffic and to soldiers who shoot bullets and tear gas on a daily basis. That may lead them to vagrancy or violence. Thus, they are in a strong need for a place where they can reaffirm their childhood and participate in activities that stimulate their talents and creativity.
Any child is welcome to join our activities, which are all for free.
