Building a School in the Desert
More than 1,000 refugees and Bedouins have resided in Anab Al-Kabir village for the past 40 years. The village, located 25 kilometers south of Hebron, is so remote it was connected to electricity only two years ago. Most residents live in tents or caves. A few families built their own mud houses. The land is arid and unsuitable for farming. The main source of income is sheep herding.
