About Us
Our Story

challenges
The first and most important challenge for us was the formation of the physical environment, and we mean the place of starting work and its social location. During that period, we did not have what enabled us to provide the monthly rent. Some civil society activities took the initiative and took care of that for many months, and the place was two rooms of non-ferrous metal tin It is qualified to receive activities as workshops for youth and children, but our will was stronger, our dream broader, and our insistence was firm in developing the association’s building from rent to full ownership. The building consists of four floors and is equipped with all the supplies required to carry out intellectual, cultural, educational and community activities
