Shlama from Baghdeda, where our team at Shlama Green Energy installed a 40-kilowatt solar energy system that will provide reliable electricity and power proper heating and cooling in classrooms for the first time in over 2 decades.

Shlama from the gorgeous village of Armash where we've completed our second phase of building irrigation canals! With funding from L'Œuvre d'Orient, we were able to build 1,610 meters.

With this support, we'll not only help with their livelihoods, but this will also help prevent land encroachment as the area will now be used and not neglected. This is our second phase of this project, as we b
