The Green Alternative

A program licensed by the Ministry of Education within the GEFEN program, the gateway for authorities and educational activities " Program Number: 29649 "

Program Summary: The "Green Alternative" program focuses on teaching people, especially women, about healthy lifestyles and their positive impact on the future community. We believe that these girls will become mothers and will contribute to raising the entire community. To achieve this, the program structure consists of two parts that combine environment and health.

1. Handmade Natural Products:

• In this project, we teach students how to reduce the use of chemicals and replace them with natural materials that are friendly to our bodies and the environment. For example, we teach them how to make natural soap from olive oil, honey with aromatic plants like lavender and rosemary, teeth whitening, lip balm, burn ointment, air freshener from rose petals or citrus peels, mouthwash, and more.

1. Eat Healthy, Live Healthy:

• In this project, students learn to reduce the use of chemical colors, preservatives, unhealthy food, and avoid all harmful fats.

Main Objective and Goals of the Program:

• Equip students with skills for a healthy consumer culture.

• Provide tools to reduce environmental harm.

• Produce eco-friendly social products.

• Prevent school dropouts.
