It provides free one-to-one education with personalised curricula, including English, Arabic, Ethics, Math and other subjects, and offers psychological support, hygiene workshops, medical accompaniment, food and medicine distribution, and help for families dealing with discrimination in schools and healthcare. Its school is run democratically by students and parents, and it runs weekend activities and workshops on democracy, racism, sexism and LGBTQ+ issues.
