Greetings everyone,

I am a representative from Haraba, based in the south of Israel,

Haraba is a team made of seven community activists, we care about society and we believe by creating job opportunities in desert tourism we can help people have a better life.

High unemployment number in Naqab Area

More than 240,000 Bedouin Arabs live in the Naqab in southern Palestine in three forms of the population: Unrecognized villages (36 villages without all basic services, no water, no electricity, no infrastructure, and several houses are being demolished) and recognized villages (11 villages that received recognition after the year 2000, those villages were given schools but without infrastructure or basic services), as well as planned towns (7 towns, with racism in budgets, overcrowding, unemployment, and violence).

Israeli policies have affected Arab Naqab for 70 years to dismantle the traditional systems in society, also it prevents the natural development of society, and derail it in many cases. Today, more than 60% of the Naqab Arabs are below the poverty line, according to official figures.

In 2018, more than 2,775 homes in Arab villages in the Naqab were demolished by Israeli authorities, and existing Arab villages suffer from poverty and unemployment issues, which have been involved in the forced urbanization of the Naqab Arabs in their formation.

Haraba association's desert tourism project

The idea of establishing "Haraba" association in the Naqab stemmed from the general need for socio-economic and public strengthening in basic issues that the Palestinian Arab Bedouin community suffers from in the Naqab,

The "Haraba" was built with the help of a group of Naqab sons and daughters who believe in the young generation's ability to change and work to improve society through skills owned by the young men and also the desire to improve, work and add benefice to society.

The Haraba association's desert tourism project and the green Naqab project were established to create job opportunities inside the 36 unrecognized villages in the Naqab by building tourism stations to introduce Bedouin hospitality to worldwide tourists and show the real story of the Naqab, by training young Bedouins to tell their story and guide tours.

Support our project to increase job opportunities

The plan of the desert oasis project is to build tourism hospitality spots in the Naqab as a nonprofit project to help people in the unrecognized villages which suffer discrimination and the absence of basic water and electricity services obtain jobs in Bedouin hospitality. To help them stay in their lands and improve their life we aim to build five hospitality oasis by the end of 2020 and train 20 tour guides.

The desert tourism project needs about 63 thousand dollars to cover its first year and after well be self-sustaining but we aim to raise up to 20 thousand dollars on public funding the rest we are raising from funding boxes that support human rights around the world

Your donations will help Palestinian Bedouin men, women, students to warn their living without having to leave their villages to work hard jobs and be in the danger of their homes being demolished without them being there to try and stop it.

And will help introduce the just cause of Alnaqab to the world.

We will really appreciate your help.

Thank you so much in advance.
