Before the devastating war in the Gaza Strip

There were more than 30,000 young men and women in the Gaza Strip working online in various fields (programmers, graphic designers, marketers, accountants, and many other fields), and they were divided between employees under contracts with companies outside the Gaza Strip or freelancers working Via online operating platforms.

Since the first day of the war, and with the beginning of the power and internet outage, most of these young men and women lost their employment contracts and the projects they were working on with clients outside Gaza, and thus they lost their source of income, which was the only refuge for them and their families in light of the difficult economic situation. that the sector passes through.

The conditions continued for several months without these young men being able to return to work.

And from here came the idea of ​​Taqat as an alternative to humanitarian relief, which represents for these young men and girls who were filling the surroundings with energy and vitality, and represents for them an insult to their abilities and competence, so our slogan to the world outside the Gaza Strip was, “You want to help them with their work,” since this group of young people Girls just need a chance to return to life and support themselves and their families.

We, in the Taqat team, began continuous work in order to lay the foundations for the initiative. We started with simple capabilities, represented by a few solar panels and a limited-speed internet line. Thanks to the charitable people who supported us, we have so far been able to help 60 young men and women regain their businesses and we have been able to establish... An electronic operating platform dedicated to linking energies within the Gaza Strip to the global and Arab market.

Through your support, we will be able to:

1- Developing the energy system in the current workspace located in the city of Deir al-Balah to accommodate another 40 people, bringing the total number to 100 people 

2- Renting and equipping another place that can accommodate 100 new young men and women for a period of 6 months, so that the project is free and the costs are covered during this period.

3- Work to develop the Taqat Employment Platform to be the first Palestinian window dedicated to linking Palestinian Taqat with the global and Arab market.
