We wanted to take time this month to celebrate a few of the Palestinian women we have had the pleasure to work with in Gaza. These women are working to support themselves and their community through vital farming and food production businesses.
During women's history month, we are honored to share with you a new video highlighting some of the incredible women MECA and our partner the Gaza Urban and Peri-Urban Agricultural Platform (GUPAP) supported during a special project to enhance food sovereignty in Gaza. These are a few of the 53 women who received support for their income-generation projects.
Please take a few minutes to watch the video and hear from Wafaa, Samaher, Najla, Areej, Alaa and Dr. Mona.
