Gaza

DESCRIPTION

With the goal of bringing new hope to the neighbourhoods of Gaza City and favouring social inclusion, ACS promoted the project “Green Hopes Gaza”, a project that counts on several people committed to the development of a new polyfunctional green space that will serve as:

Art, sport and play area, with the creation of sport pitches and a skate park
Centre of psychosocial and psychological assistance
Horticultural area, along the lines of urban gardening
Vocational training centre

Support the birth of this green area and, with it, the local communities of one of the most difficult parts of the world to live in, the Gaza Strip.

The project will close at the end of April.
