My father owned a small contracting company in the Gaza Strip. It was the only source of income for the family. However, due to the siege and difficult economic conditions, he had to close the company. This situation forced me to drop out of college.
At that time, I went to FATEN and received the loan I needed to buy new equipment and boost my father’s company. When the business progressed again, I was able to hire two employees to help me.
Eventually, I managed to resume my university studies and support my family.
