State Minister Prof. Dr. Maria Böhmer and the German Ambassador visit the TAMEB Project in Ankara

Ankara. State minister Prof. Dr. Maria Böhmer and the German Ambassador Martin Erdmann visited the Syrian Friendship Association (SFA) training center in Ankara on November 13^th, 2017.

Prof. Dr. Maria Böhmer told a journalist that she visited SFA because she wanted to see how the refugees qualify within the TAMEB project as Germany provides a financial support of 15 million euros for the project. The German government invests 150 million euros each year for refugee projects.

Böhmer herself was once the women’s union’s chairwoman. In her opinion the female refugees she saw on her tour encourage other women as they demonstrate a strong will to become successful.
