ALSAMA PROJECT

The charity operates education centres and provides cricket activities in conjunction with our sister charity Alsama Project in Lebanon. Alsama means 'Sky' in Arabic. We are offering new horizons for refugee children and women in areas of conflict in the Middle East by providing academic education and sport development, and by supporting social enterprises run by refugee women.
