From the beginning, it was evident that the residents of Stabl Antar can not be helped by charitable interventions which attempt to provide them with one-time assistance to any one of their many problems. A charity-based approach, without a sustainable development influence, to this project will only serve to perpetuate their cycle of poverty. It is evident that the project will depend greatly on the adoption of a holistic approach which aims to develop the area and improve the general health and living conditions of its residents.

mission:
We empower ”Establ Antar“ families to reach the minimum standard of living through developing their skills, competencies and promoting social responsibility towards them.

Core Values:
Empowerment
Family
Development
Social Responsibility
Empowerment
We value the increase in the spiritual, political, social and economic strength of individuals and communities to empower developing confidence in their own capacities.

Family
We value the family, and we believe that it is the foundation in building the community.

Development
We value development that seeks to empower individuals and groups of people by providing them with the skills they need to effect change in their own communities in order to be active and sustainable communities based on social justice and mutual respect.

Social Responsibility
We believe that as social citizens we all have a social responsibility towards the community, responsibility to society. Social responsibility is voluntary; it is about going above and beyond what is called for by the law(legal responsibility).

It involves an idea that it is better to be proactive toward a problem rather than reactive to a problem.

Social responsibility means eliminating corrupt, irresponsible or unethical behavior that might bring harm to the community.
