The Tamar Center was established with the aim of creating change

Due to the lowest employment rate in the country and the poor achievements of the education system among Arab-Bedouin youth, as well as the social and political changes occurring in recent years, the difficulty of integrating Arab-Bedouins into Israeli society is growing. The Tamar Center was founded in the grassroots of Arab-Bedouin society by a group of young members of the community. The center was established with an acknowledgment of reality and a genuine desire to change the existing situation. The center operates in cooperation with government ministries and various state authorities.
