Sidreh - Lakiya Negev Weaving
Our Story
Sidreh is a nonprofit organization established in 1998 to empower, represent
and improve the socio-economic condition of Bedouin women living in Israel's Negev.
Sidreh is named after the tree growing in the Negev and mentioned in the Koran, being used as a metaphor, for women survival and strength.
How do we empower Bedouin women?
• We teach them to successfully read and write through a specialized adult education model
• We help women earn a high school diploma
• We help them become aware of their rights so that they can defend them at home and at the community
• We share their stories and give them a voice in order to change preconceptions and stereotypes within the community
• We match their capacities with local demands and train them to find income generating activities
• We promote the development of women and girls’ leadership initiatives; encouraging them to become active agents of change
