Soft Landing is an electro-mechanic device that prevents any patient with injury in their feet from falling. This includes elderly people and patients who suffer from injuries in the spinal cords, apoplexies or any other kind of injuries that affect movement. This device helps those people to be independent and increases their capabilities to practice their daily routine. Moreover, it decreases the burden on other family members.
Ijada for leading businesses “Supporting Small Business Creation for Youth” is implemented by Palestine Polytechnic University in collaboration with Taawon Institution and with a joint support of GIZ and the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development managed by the Islamic Bank for Development.
