Our largest project to date is under construction and due for completion in September 2011. Along with Exodus Travels we are funding a community Hammam (bath house) which is aimed at providing employment for villagers and income for the Village Association. It will also have an environmental benefit as well as cultural and medical. The next phase after the Hammam is completed will be to build a village bakery on the back of the site in order to maximise usage of the Hammam oven and create more income and employment.

Our long term goal is that the income from these initiatives will enable the Village Association to fund its own projects in future.
