While fighting desertification in Beit Sahour and Jenin, MA'AN turns its eyes towards the eastern slopes of Ash Shawawra. Due to the harsh conditions caused by the political fight over land, their agricultural situation has worsened. Since the start of the desertification of Ash Shawawra, the ability to farm and maintain a steady income of resources has diminished. With this, basic farming techniques are being forgotten and lost.
MA'ANs goal in this village is to gather as many of the locals as possible to begin reviving the land. To do this they are planning to gather up as much knowledge of agriculture left by the people, and also include new techniques developed by MA'AN itself. Aside from rejuvenating the land, giving the people their natural resources, they are helping in opening job opportunities for the people having trouble finding employment.
