Al Sanabel was established as a socio-economic project by AJEEC and the Hura local council, with the aim of promoting women’s employment among Bedouin, especially single mothers, and providing healthy meals to children in Hura and the surrounding localities. Their employment at Al Sanabel usually serves as their sole source of income. The unemployment rate among Bedouin women in Israel is about 80%, which is the highest among all groups commonly excluded from the Israeli labor market. This fact, together with the Food Security Act, stipulating that children (up to the age of nine) living in socio-economically challenged localities have the right to receive one hot meal a day, were the cornerstones for the establishment of Al Sanabel.
