As you know Comet-ME is among the finalists in the BBC World Challenge Competition. The competition now enters its final stages – voting is open till the 13th of November – and we would like to ask you to vote for the work we do (if you have not done so yet) or help us spread the word so we can get more votes and hopefully win the competition. Winning the competition will allow us to provide renewable energy infrastructure for another community in South Mount Hebron and provide much exposure to the project itself and the dire conditions under which the people of South Mount Hebron live.
Take a minute to watch this short video we produced on one of the aspects of our work – the change electricity brought about in terms of income generation through butter churning.
Comet-ME facilitate social and economical empowerment in the poorest and most marginalized communities in the occupied Palestinian territories through capacity building and the provision of basic energy services in a way that is both environmentally and socially sustainable.
Comet-ME is a joint initiative of Israelis and local Palestinians communities who believe that barriers of hostility can be overcome by joint, concrete, work aimed at felling down the walls of segregation and racism.
Many thanks,
Noam and Elad.
