Mission Statement
A New Dawn in the Negev works to improve the quality of life for the Bedouin community and people of the Negev as a whole. Founded in 2009, our work focuses on addressing the social and cultural isolation experienced by Bedouin youth. We create new opportunities for young people of both Jewish and Bedouin backgrounds, we expand their horizons and their prospects for the future. At its core, A New Dawn is a Bedouin-Jewish organization that seeks to promote equality, coexistence, and peace among the many residents of the Negev.
