Help Yousef 2 replant his family farm &greenhouse.

Yousef S H Aburabee from Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, a passionate young agricultural engineer with extensive training in the fields of agriculture and the environment. I have conducted numerous training sessions for farmers and agricultural engineers on modern techniques and organic farming.

Growing up in a small village in Northern Gaza, called Beit Lahia, my Dream began during early childhood, filled with many hopes and realistic plans of becoming an agricultural engineer to produce high-quality crops with minimal pesticide use and Eco-friendly farming. During my university studies, I learned how to cultivate plants and crops using different ways including the hydro technology in agricultural hydroponic greenhouses, which proved to be a fantastic and modern technique to grow and produce healthy more affordable food in less time and with far greater yields.

Such way of farming become the source of income to me and my family and gained popularity in a community striving for safe products. Such success encouraged me to adopt a different method of cultivating strawberries in a way that minimizes the use of fertilizers and pesticides, relying on environmentally friendly resources such as sunlight and wind direction.

My dream continues to grow beyond the hydroponic greenhouse despite the blockage and minimal resources in Gaza Strip, I am one of the first to adopt the hydroponic technology in Gaza. I evolved in teaching and workshops to educate and spread awareness about Eco friendly and hydroponic methods of farming.

I am an active member of the local community, ambitious young farming engineer with a big dream, passion and patience to improve future farming by relying on natural fertilizers, sunlight, wind and environmentally friendly ways of farming.

However, the conflict in Gaza claimed human, animal, and crop lives. The destruction of properties, infrastructures, and course my farm and future dream were not spared from bombings and land confiscation. At least I am still alive and able to communicate and write to you, my story.

The family farm, our sole source of income, which sustained our daily needs and allowed me and my sibling to meet educational expenses and purchase costly natural agricultural supplies.

Being different and opting for safe agriculture means bearing higher costs, and after the destruction of everything and losing all crops and infrastructure, I find myself in a challenging situation but still have a dream, sometimes losing everything to gain it again in a better way to be successful.

I am reaching you today to assistance me in rehabilitation the land of Gaza and help vulnerable and poor farmers to restore theirs live again.

Gaza is suffering from wars, destruction, and food shortage even before the war. However, I am prepared and ready to restart again, to rebuild and regenerate agriculture of my and my community land.

The impact of such project is significant in alleviating the suffering of the people in Gaza and whole Palestine, who have endured hardship, bombings, and displacement. Your contribution will be one of the ways to reintroduce safe agriculture and be a part of the environmentally friendly infrastructure that will help alleviate pain and suffering as well provide source of income and food supply for millions of desperate people.
