Her Majesty met with the cooperative’s president, Ayda
Ghanmeh, and members of its board of directors for a briefing on the
Cooperative's achievements and future plans.
As the sole community-based organization in the village, Tal
Al-Rumman Women’s Cooperative empowers women through skill-specific training
sessions, ranging from workshops on dairy production to sewing and embroidery.
The Cooperative is keen on creating job opportunities for
the local community and promoting sustainable development. It has launched a
productive kitchen to improve the livelihoods of Tal Al-Rumman women through
cooking.
The Queen later toured the Cooperative’s headquarters,
stopping by a training session on food production, and one of its vegetable
farms. She also took a look at its hydroponic greenhouse project, which relies
on nutrient solutions, rather than soil, to grow vegetables more efficiently.
This growing technique allows the women to reap large
produce yields without involving sunlight or extra labor.
Established in 2017, the Cooperative covers a range of
vocational fields through its empowerment programs, including agriculture,
baking, and sewing, and it runs a clothing bank for the disadvantaged families
in the area.
