The association
Palmyras Venner is a Danish association that supports long-term, sustainable projects in Syria.
Four projects
There are four projects. The vocational school is already under way. There is also an agricultural school, a farm where the teaching takes place in the field, and a plot in the oasis, where planting can begin again with water and sun.
01
A school where young people can learn to grow vegetables, use the tools and keep a farm going. The building is made for a class of about thirty, with room for the people who look after the place, and a store beside it.

A plot in the oasis is to be cultivated again. Date palms and olive trees will be planted, and vegetables grown in season. Water is collected and distributed by drip irrigation, and the pump runs on solar power.
