Posted in Fund Disbursement

 

Report dated 4 May 2015

Project No. (14/2015): The scholarship project - we have implemented the program in 5 universities and next week we will complete the program for the remaining universities ( Al Azhar, Al Aqsa, and Al Quds open university). This project is very important for Palestinian university students because there is a huge number of students who can't pay for university fees due to the bad economic situation for many families. The new semester will start in September, and we hope to start a fund raising campaign in July /August to fund the new intake of students in September. We hope to make this project an annual program with the proposed campaign name "Donate to Educate" to raise funds for scholarship program or any other related educational programs.

Project No. (1/2015) Micro Financing project - We have completed the assessment and disbursed micro loans to 18 beneficiaries from the 2014 fund. We are now selecting new target groups of beneficiaries to disburse further micro loans under project No (1/2015) amounting to USD 30,000.

Project No. (18/2015) Lighting up A Home in Gaza - Construction and Relief Society invited electrical companies by tender announcements to supply the lights and 5 companies participated in the tender. They selected the best tender and insha Allah we will provide 250 LED systems for 250 families.

  1. - West of Gaza City – Gaza Governorate.
  2. - East of Gaza City– Gaza Governorate.
  3. - South of Gaza City – Gaza Governorate.
  4. - Rafah governorate.
  5. This makes up the first and second phase and we hope to gather more fund to cover the remaining governorates (Al Wustah, Khanunnes, North of Gaza).

Project No. (3/2015) Renting and furnishing DQWS kindergartens - DQWS completed providing electrical and electronic equipment and also toys and swings to the kindergartens. In the next two weeks, DQWS will provide the furniture (tables, chairs for kids with desks, book shelves and teachers chairs).

Project (02/2015) Provision of health care for needy and poor families - this is implemented by the Orphans House Society. The project is in the process of being implemented and so far 350 patients received help under this project by way of:

  1. - Supply of medicine for free.
  2. - 50 % to 100 % contribution towards the cost of operating surgeries.
  3. - Cash for patients who need money to travel to get their medicine.
  4. - Free medical preview for orphans and their families.

Project No. (12/2015) Freelancing day - Media youth Center and Rowad have completed this project and we are awaiting their report. So far, we see that this project is very useful for people looking for work using their skill with the internet, and it gives some hope for post graduate students as we have some programmers earning about USD 1000 per day from this freelance work using their skill on the internet.

Project No. (09/2015) Rehabilitation of poor families' houses - This project focuses on improving the lives of poor families especially those who live in homes with no roof, no bathroom , no kitchen. USD 2,000 can make a big difference to their homes and lives. The beneficiaries of this project are the very poor and not those who lost their homes due to the wars. A short video will be made available soon insha Allah to share with our donors as we hope to raise more funds for this project because these poor families are in dire need of help. When our representative in Gaza visited some of these families, he could not imagine how they survive, some of them sleep on sand.

  1. - UCAS has completed providing the lab and we are awaiting the final report from them.
