Help a Father, Artist & Survivor Study AI for Justice

My name is Ibrahim Ghunaim.

I’m a 33-year-old Palestinian father, husband, and lifelong artist.

I now live in Indonesia, far from my homeland which is being wiped out by genocide. I’ve spent years seeking safety and stability — across countries and continents — while holding on to my voice, my family, and my dream.

For over 20 years, I’ve been a professional rapper, using my voice to challenge injustice and amplify the stories of the forgotten. As a videographer, editor, and storyteller, I’ve turned raw suffering into meaningful visuals and messages that travel beyond borders.

And in the past two years, I’ve embraced Artificial Intelligence as a powerful creative tool — not for entertainment, but for advocacy.

Through AI-generated art and visual storytelling, I’ve helped my people convey their pain and resilience to the world.

Since the beginning of the war, my AI-driven creative works have reached hundreds of millions of views across social media — proof that powerful messages, when told the right way, can move the world.

Now, I’ve been given a rare opportunity:

To formally study Artificial Intelligence at Tokyo International University (TIU) — in a full-time undergraduate program taught entirely in English.

This is a chance to expand my skills, refine my tools, and use technology not only to create — but to rebuild.

But I can’t walk this journey alone.

As a father and husband, I want to take my family with me — and I need your support to make that possible.

Why This Matters

This isn’t just about a degree.

It’s about preparing a survivor to become a builder.

It’s about turning lived experience, artistic talent, and global reach into sustainable impact.

With this education, I will:

Develop creative platforms that preserve the voices of oppressed people

Combine AI and art to shape new forms of resistance and storytelling

Continue producing rap, film, and campaigns while I study

Build resources and tools to empower youth in Gaza and beyond

Contribute to the future rebuilding of Gaza through technology, innovation, and AI-driven solutions in education, design, and reconstruction

What I Will Give Back

This journey is not only about me — it’s about building a bridge for others to follow.

In return for your support, I commit to:

Sharing everything I learn by offering free AI training and creative workshops for Palestinians, especially youth in Gaza and displaced communities. I will document my journey, translate my knowledge into Arabic, and make it openly accessible to those who need it most.

Creating custom AI-generated artworks for each individual or organization that supports this campaign — as a heartfelt gift, and as a reminder that your contribution became a spark for education, art, and justice.

Working toward the long-term reconstruction of Gaza using AI tools, design thinking, and technology-based innovation to bring creative, sustainable, and community-focused rebuilding solutions.

Your support doesn’t just help me —

It empowers a community. It multiplies. It lives on.

Final Words

This campaign is not about escape — it’s about purpose.

It’s about a father who survived — and now wants to build.

It’s about an artist who found a way to reach millions — and now seeks knowledge to go even further.

And it’s about hope — that one day, creativity and technology can help heal the very cities that war tried to erase.

Whether you donate or share — you're helping a family stand again, and helping a voice speak louder, clearer, and wiser.

From the bottom of my heart:

Thank you for believing in what’s possible.
