As Safir newspaper published a report about the sport compound which was recently erected in Ain el Helweh. This facility was established so as to offer an outlet for the local Palestinian community who is constantly living in a situation of fear, insecurity, and poverty. The project was funded and implemented thanks to handsome financial contribution form Palestinian refugees living in Germany, Sweden and Denmark.
The project seeks to bring together young people from different political affiliation and to encourage conviviality and tolerance. It also seeks to protect up to tens of thousands of Ain Helweh residents and more than 3000 children suffering from diabetes and bed wetting from the constant terror of armed violence in the camp. The sport compound includes different facilities for several kinds of activities including a swimming pool, two football courts, basket ball courts, ping pong rooms and others. It also includes a parking, a fast food restaurant and a ball room, and has provided 300 new work opportunities for camp residents and Syrian displaced people.
