About Fazaa

Fazaa is an initiative created by a group of passionate Palestinian entrepreneurs in order to help Palestinian families receive the support and resiliency they need to survive the COVID-19 pandemic and life difficulties in Palestine. We gather our efforts, skills, and expertise to make a difference in our local community. With the support of local community organizations and under the support of the The Palestinian Center of Rapprochement between People (PCR).

The COVID-19 virus not only spreads disease, but also causes huge economic and social consequences in the long term. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Social Development, more than 53 thousand Palestinian families have fallen under the poverty line since the beginning of the COVID-19 virus outbreak. Thousands of Palestinians have lost their jobs and are struggling to earn a livable income due to the absolute shutdown of the tourism sector.

Our goal is to collect stories from local Palestinian families of their personal hardships and struggles as a result of the COVID-19 crisis and other life difficulties. We will ask these families to identify a need that urgently must be met in order to ensure they can be resilient throughout the next phase of this pandemic. Also, we will think together about a productive project that the family can carry on to ensure sustainable income for this family. Personal stories are then distributed on our public platform to raise awareness within the international community. Our hope is to connect Palestinian families with resources that aid in their recovery—whether that be alimentary, medical, or social support.

This year has brought many unprecedented consequences to individuals around the globe. While the future may feel uncertain, Fazaa finds hope in the caring nature that connects us as human beings and make us more efficient to each other.      

Our project's name Fazaa is inspired from a positive habit that is common in the Palestinian society where relatives and friends accelerate to help in harvesting, picking olives or preparing for weddings without being asked to help. It is when people rush to work together, voluntarily, to help someone.
