One of the stories of ambition waiting for a new opportunity is that of Mohammad Mortaja (21 years old) — a young man who began carrying responsibility early in life, helping support his family and cover the rent of the house they now live in temporarily after their home in Al-Shuja’iyya was destroyed during the war of genocide on Gaza.

Mohammad did not wait for a job — he created his own opportunity.

For three years, he worked from home producing cleaning products, building a network of customers and relying on his motorized tricycle (“tuktuk”) to distribute his goods to markets and shops.
But the war did not spare his project. He lost his business, and his vehicle — the main artery of his income distribution — was damaged.

He lost the tools… but not the idea or the ability.

Today, Mohammad dreams of restarting his business. He needs:

• 10 detergent barrels (250 liters each)

• Raw materials for manufacturing

• Packaging supplies and printed labels

• A means of transportation for distribution (a tuktuk or electric bike)

• A tent — preferably a rented space in the middle of the market

• A power source

Mohammad has the ability to network with institutions and can produce large quantities of cleaning materials at lower prices and with quality close to imported products. He sees his project as a real opportunity to help ease the shortage of cleaning supplies in the market and provide affordable products to the community.

The estimated cost to relaunch Mohammad’s project ranges between $3,000 and $4,000.

With your support, Mohammad can return as a producer, a provider, and a project owner serving his family and community — transforming loss into a new beginning.
