Location: Gaza /Bait Lahia
It?s a demonstration project on minimizing the environmental damaging impact of old car tires wastes and burning by reusing these to establish children?s playground in Um Nasser village in the north of Bait Lahia town in the north of Gaza. The project aims at reusing the excessive waste disposal of old car tires to establish 1000 square meters children?s playground in Um Nasser border village with Israel in the northern area of Gaza Strip. Along with equipping the garden with tire-made playing facilities and execute the garden land escaping, the project will also launch tree-planting campaign in the main streets of the village. It will also conduct community awareness activities through meetings, tire collection campaign and distribution of brochures to disseminate information on the techniques to reuse the tire wastes in an environmental-friendly manner.
