BUSTAN
BUSTAN has worked in the Bedouin and Jewish communities in Israel's Negev desert since 1999, and in 2007 hired a new executive director, Ra'ed Al-Mickawi.
Natan's 2009 grant is partially for general operating support, and partially to provide BUSTAN with organizational consulting to help the organization build its capacity under new leadership.

BUSTAN promotes innovative ways of economically empowering Bedouin and Jewish residents of the Negev, while simultaneously encouraging environmental sustainability and preserving Bedouin culture.
