We are pleased to introduce Ghada Mansi, the new coordinator for the Maia Project. Since joining MECA team in July, Ghada has been very busy overseeing the maintenance of all the Maia units in schools and kindergartens throughout Gaza and the construction and installation of new units. With your support during our Giving Tuesday campaign, we are in the process of building a new water purification unit in Gaza. We'll be sending you photos and updates when the the installation is complete! Ghada Mansi, Maia Project Coordinator, is an engineer living in Deir El Balah town in Gaza, Palestine. Ghada is proud of our work with the Maia Project: "Polluted water causes children to die in Gaza, we need serious action to save our children. I'm proud to contribute to the solution of one of the biggest disasters in the Gaza Strip through the Maia Project. When I see children drink clean water from the Maia Project units, I feel a positive feeling inside me different from any other feeling." Ghada is also the cofounder of the Sketch Engineering Company which aims to use engineering to improve life for the local community by solving some of the problems for everyday life under occupation and siege in Gaza. Sketch engineers designed the "Gaza Lights" systems that MECA has installed in hundreds of homes throughout Gaza. In her spare time, Ghada is researching how to use wind energy to help alleviate the energy crisis in Gaza and taking care of her nine cats.
