As part of its ongoing mission to educate and empower vulnerable children, Kuramaa organized an educational field trip to Ajaj Dairy Factory in Lebanon. The trip brought together 70 Syrian orphaned children who had the opportunity to explore how dairy products are made—starting from milking, through fermentation and processing, to packaging and distribution.
This real-world experience offered the children a practical and fun way to understand essential food industries that directly impact their daily lives.
Why an Educational Trip to a Dairy Factory Matters
This educational visit to Ajaj Dairy Factory was more than just a fun outing. It was a gateway to knowledge. Through a guided tour across the factory’s departments, children learned step-by-step how milk turns into cheese and yogurt. They saw machines in action and listened to simplified explanations provided by the staff.
Such immersive learning is critical for broadening children’s understanding of local industries and bridging the gap between theory and practice—a core value at Kuramaa.
Building Food and Health Awareness Through Experience
Food education is a vital part of a child’s development. During the visit, children learned how important clean handling, quality control, and hygiene are in producing safe dairy products. They gained insights into healthy food choices and how dairy plays a role in nutrition.
By learning where their food comes from and how it’s made, the children became more conscious about food safety and healthy eating. These lessons are especially important for orphaned children who often lack access to structured health education. That’s why Kuramaa integrates such hands-on experiences into its educational programs.
Stimulating Curiosity and Interest in Local Industries
This visit was also designed to spark curiosity and inspire future dreams. Seeing how cheese is made or how a factory operates can ignite a child’s imagination and introduce them to new career paths they may never have considered before.
By connecting students to local industries like dairy production, Kuramaa helps them understand the economic and social importance of such work. It’s a step toward building awareness of how they can one day contribute to their community and economy, despite their difficult circumstances.
A Fun and Interactive Learning Experience
What made this trip special was its perfect mix of learning and fun. The children enjoyed the experience while unknowingly absorbing key lessons in science, biology, hygiene, and environmental awareness.
This form of interactive education aligns perfectly with Kuramaa’s vision of transforming education into a lifelong, empowering journey—especially for children affected by displacement and loss.
