Project Overview
The EduHope Project is a four-month educational initiative designed to provide critical educational support to Tawjihi (high school diploma) students and the broader community of university students and graduates in an area facing infrastructure challenges.
The project established and operated three fully equipped classrooms and two solar-powered tents, creating resilient learning environments with reliable electricity and internet. At its core was a comprehensive intensive Tawjihi program covering nine subjects, which successfully prepared 277 students for their national examinations.
Simultaneously, the learning hubs served as a vital resource for an average of 60-75 university students and graduates daily, enabling them to pursue their academic and research activities without interruption.
