Beneficiaries’ quotes:

The project provided me with a cochlear implant due to the difficult economic conditions we -as a family- are suffering. This has pushed me to continue the DIB training and enabled me to keep moving without thinking of any obstacles whether health, psychological or social condition.” Said, Abdul Rahman, one of Juhoud training beneficiaries.

“At the beginning, I didn’t realize that dealing with the elderly has its own methods and techniques. But through the training, I acquired the skills necessary to work with the elderly. I became more aware of their health and psychological needs, and now I care for them and interact with them as if they were my own family."
