COMMUNITY ACCESS WATER PROJECT

On May 1st, the fuel ran out for the last well pump supplying most of the city. We are raising money to cover the purchase of 4 refurbished solar panels and 2 batteries, so that we can supply water to the surrounding tent camps. We have been experiencing a major water crisis since most of the wells and solar panels were destroyed by bombings over the last year and a half. With this existing well, we will be able to offer water access for the dozens of families in the surrounding area if we can get it up and running.

All funds up until $10,700 will be allocated first and foremost to this Community Access Water Project.

REBUILDING OUR FAMILY HOME

Before, our family had a beautiful home surrounded by a garden filled with grapevines, flowers and crops for our family. Olive trees behind our home gave fruit from which we would eat and make our olive oil. It was a place to gather in community with family and friends, with a gazebo I built and an arbor to rest under.

I, Salah, am a carpenter who studied business administration at university and had so much that I was grateful for. I had a beautiful life. All of that is now destroyed.

But just as our olive trees on the land are emerging once again from the stumps left amongst the rubble, my family is working hard to rebuild our home and replant our land.

We have now come back to our land, an area of Beit Lahia that was totally destroyed. We have been working each day to clear the rubble from our land, find what resources our family needs and start building our home once more.

Over the last year, I farmed my land and the farmland around me along side my dear friend, martyr Yousef Abu Rabee (May God have mercy on him) to grow food for our community in the starkest moments of starvation.

With your support and care, we will rebuild our loving family home and tend to the land that cares for us in return.
