Arab Women Union in the city of Beit Sahour near Bethlehem has long supported the local community –employing people with disabilities or running a kindergarten. It funds its non-profit activities, among other things, by selling production of its kitchen, where it employs local women. The capacity of this kitchen has now been expanded by an oven made by the Czech company Retigo. The Czech Republic has supported the Union repeatedly, in the past it supported installation of a solar-powered herb and fruit dryer.
