Community Center

We are currently raising funds to build a Community Learning Center that provides space for studying, community activity and positive social interaction between youths in Kabala. Currently there is no such space in the community, and young people often find themselves in bars and nightclubs.

Such a center will provide an alternative. It will also allow for the kind of inter-school competitions and collaborations that occurred prior to the war. This is a very important goal and requires not only financial support but subject expertise.

Digital Center

We are also planning to construct a digital center to facilitate access to technology which will inherently enable cross-cultural exchange amongst our students, teachers, staff and partners in other parts of the world. This facility will provide access to more useful information that will enhance the work of our in-country staff and teacher-mentors. We have already begun much of the leg work for this project, but to finalize this set up and sustain it over time, Project1808 will need goodwill supporters to make this a reality.
