Help Manar Complete Her Education In Gaza and Support Her Family
I am a young woman from Gaza — a place that has not known peace, yet continues to raise people who turn pain into strength and patience into a way of life.
I earned my university degree despite the many challenges imposed by war and blockade. From the beginning, I was determined to pursue a professional career in my field and continue my academic journey through a Master’s and eventually a PhD — to realize my full potential and take part in shaping a better future.
The ongoing war in Gaza has brought many dreams to a halt. Universities have been disrupted, institutions damaged, and the future has become increasingly uncertain. I am one of the many whose paths have been directly affected.
Still, I remain unwavering. I have not let go of my goals, nor have I allowed circumstances to define who I am or what I can achieve. My belief in education and in the power of change remains stronger than ever.
Gaza did not break me — it shaped me. It gave me resilience, depth, and a profound understanding of the value of hope. I carry my dream not as a distant wish, but as a purpose I walk toward every single day, with quiet strength and unwavering faith.
