A Youth Initiative to Revive Homes
Because our people deserve life… Because those who truly understand the value of the land are those who never left it despite all the devastation… And because resilience is the only choice, a group of young volunteers, in collaboration with the Palestinian Dialogue and Development Organization – Dou', launched an initiative to restore homes partially damaged by the war, bringing hope back to families longing to return to their homes and neighborhoods—places that have endured destruction but never lost their spirit.
The initiative targeted the restoration of 20 partially damaged homes in Tel Al-Zaatar in northern Gaza, Salah Al-Din Street in the east, and central Gaza, striving to breathe life back into war-affected neighborhoods and prevent the displacement of their residents. With over 200,000 housing units partially damaged, the team believes that collective efforts, no matter how modest, can make a significant difference. Every home that is restored is a step toward reviving entire neighborhoods and reinforcing their resilience.
This initiative is not just a housing restoration project; it is a message of defiance and perseverance, written by the people of Gaza under the banner of " Dou' ", affirming that the will to live is stronger than destruction. They are determined to rebuild their city with their own hands, stone by stone, ensuring that the light shines in every home and that Gaza remains vibrant with its people.
