This campaign will collect all funds raised by August 11, 2017 at 8:45 PM EDT

Help young Palestinian woman afford a suitable camera, and kit requirements; to keep telling stories from Gaza, through photos, and videos.


People behind numbers

About 2 million Palestinians living in Gaza, have been dealing with hard circumstances for more than 10 years; and life is getting harder in the place. Everyone here has encountered struggle in his life on his own scale.


Yet, I see the struggle is the 1st chapter of everyone's life; while the successes as a result of that struggle is the 2nd chapter.


And I'me here taking responsibility to light on and tell the FULL stories of people; to EMPOWER these characters, give HOPE for others living the same circumstance, and give INSPIRATION to everyone watching the stories.




Inspiration is a gift

Inspiration is one of the very precious things, you would gift to someone.It'll cheer him up, or move him forward towards achieving his dreams; and contribute in world change. And that's what sharing resilience stories is all about: SPREADING INSPIRATION.



We as individuals, can't change in politics; but we can NARRATE stories in a way that makes a change in lives of everyone watching.

 The YouTube channel

"Show me, don't tell me"
Lately in 2016, I and my twin sister have decided to start the video-making path of telling stories form Gaza, carrying the same philosophy of inspiration, and educating people about Gaza. And that's how and why our YouTube channel KHALDI TWINS was created for; answering a question of:"What are the people of Gaza doing at the meantime?" 
(On Facebook also: KHALDI TWINS)




About Asmaa

I'm 20 years old Palestinian living in Gaza. I'm studying architecture at The Islamic University of Gaza. Besides my study, I devote my time and efforts to tell stories, written and visual stories from Gaza. 


I started my journey in photography when I was 15, I was very interested in showing daily life scenes through photos. My pictures have been exposed in Palestine, Amman, Turkey, Birmingham, and London. And they were also published in different local and regional magazines.




TAKE ACTION


I've been depending on my friends' equipment to make these photos and videos, and it's really tiring; because these equipment are not available for me all the time; and this delays many stories to be told. 


The high taxes Israel imposes on traders, makes cameras and other kit requirements more expensive than their original prices online. Also Israel prevents entering electronics bought online, to Gaza. 

 I don't have job till now, and so afford the equipment; but I DO CARRY a big PASSION to TELL STORIES.

  • With your contribution and support, I'll be able to buy a new camera and kit requirements, and so many stories will be narrated and posted to you!


  • The extra money donated for this campaign, will be used to light up Gaza with solar panels; and I'll produce a video showing the process. 


Be part of the story, by helping telling it.
