I am deeply grateful to every single person who stood by me and supported my family during the war. In our darkest moments, your kindness was not just help—it was the reason we survived and kept going. This is a debt I will carry in my heart forever.
I am a young man, and I never imagined I would reach a point where my life depended so heavily on the generosity of others. This was not a choice—it was a reality forced upon us by war, displacement, and unbearable conditions. Still, I do not want my future to be built on donations, nor do I want to live waiting for help.
I want to return to being a self-reliant person—someone who provides for his family with dignity, stability, and peace. From this desire, the idea of this project was born.
This is not a dream without a plan. It is a simple, realistic, and profitable project that I am building together with a group of kind, peaceful friends. We all live in Gaza, and we all share the same question: How can we live with dignity without constantly having to ask for help?
This project is not only about supporting me. It is about:
Creating real job opportunities
Reducing unemployment among youth
Transforming temporary aid into a sustainable source of income
If this project succeeds, the need for donations will decrease significantly. We will be able to rely on ourselves—and, God willing, even help others.
We also commit to allocating part of the project’s income to providing meals for those who cannot afford them. We understand hunger deeply. We know what it means to wait with no alternatives, and we refuse to forget those still suffering.
[Hassan] – Project Implementer
Location: Al-Rimal Area, Al-Wehda Street, Gaza City
Project Type: Small Project / Community Center / Productive, Recreational & Educational Hub
1. Executive Summary
This proposal seeks seed funding of USD 15,000 to establish a Community Study and Gaming Center in the Al-Rimal area of Gaza City. The total estimated cost of the project is USD 30,000.
The project will provide:
A safe, quiet, and well-equipped environment for students and young professionals
An organized recreational and social space for youth and gamers
Job opportunities and economic activity in a recovering urban area
The business model is financially sustainable, with an estimated operating margin of approximately 35% and capital recovery within 4 months, depending on average daily operating hours.
2. Context and Rationale
Despite ongoing conflict and economic hardship, several areas of Gaza—particularly Al-Rimal—are experiencing gradual recovery. Universities have resumed classes, businesses have reopened, and youth are actively seeking places for studying, internet access, and community engagement.
There is currently a shortage of reliable, organized spaces that combine:
Stable electricity and internet
Quiet study environments
Affordable recreational outlets for youth
This project directly addresses these needs while supporting economic resilience and community rebuilding.
3. Project Objectives
Provide affordable access to computers, internet, and study spaces for students
Offer safe, organized recreational activities for youth through gaming and events
Generate sustainable income to ensure long-term operation without continuous aid
Contribute to local economic recovery and social stability
4. Project Description
The center will operate as a multi-purpose space serving two primary user groups:
A. Students and Professionals
Quiet study areas
Desktop computers with high-speed internet
Clean drinking water and sanitary facilities
A suitable environment for online learning and academic work
B. Youth and Gaming Community
PlayStation consoles and competitive PC games (PUBG, CS, CS2)
Match viewing and live streaming
A small café with affordable snacks and beverages
Community tournaments and social events
The project owner has prior experience managing the same business before the war and has an established customer base with strong community trust.

8. Monthly Revenue Projections
Conservative Scenario (Low Usage)
Daily operating time: 1 hour
Gaming & PC usage: USD 150 per day (all devices)
Snacks & beverages: USD 120 per day
Monthly revenue:
(USD 270 × 30 days) ≈ USD 8,100
Estimated monthly expenses:
Rent (annualized): USD 10,000
Internet & electricity: USD 200
Consumables & maintenance: USD 100
Miscellaneous: USD 200
Staff wages
Total monthly expenses: approximately USD 2,000
Net monthly profit: approximately USD 6,100
⬅️ Capital recovery: ~4 months, assuming only 3 operating hours and below-average effort.
This scenario is not realistic for this location; demand is expected to be high due to population density. Some figures are conservative and not fully optimized. Profitability is very strong, especially as prices will be half or less compared to alternative venues.
Moderate Scenario (Expected Operation)
Daily operating time: 6 hours or more
Gaming & PC usage: USD 300 per day
Snacks & beverages: USD 240 per day
Monthly revenue:
(USD 540 × 30 days) ≈ USD 16,200
Estimated monthly expenses: approximately USD 3,500
Net monthly profit: approximately USD 12,700
⬅️ Capital recovery: ~2.5 months
Optimistic Scenario (High Demand)
Events, tournaments, and peak hours
Monthly revenue: USD 25,000 – 50,000
Net profit: USD 20,000+
9. Sustainability and Risk Mitigation
Diversified income streams (gaming, internet services, food)
Strong existing customer base
Flexible operating hours
Low fixed costs after initial setup
Ability to scale gradually without additional capital
Even under conservative assumptions, the project remains viable.
Operational lifespan: at least 5 years without major interior renovation.
10. Social Impact
Supports student education and digital access
Provides safe recreational alternatives for youth
Revitalizes a key commercial area
Enhances dignity, routine, and community resilience
11. Conclusion and Funding Request
This project combines economic sustainability with meaningful social impact. Since several costs are already secured, a one-time contribution will enable immediate launch and long-term operation without further assistance.
The project owner is committed, experienced, and deeply connected to the local community. Supporting this initiative is an investment in recovery, education, and youth empowerment in Gaza.
Additionally, we have a strong, professional development team and are simply in need of an opportunity.
There are further details available—this is a real, transparent project you can see and follow directly, implemented by a smart and dedicated group of young men and women in Gaza, with marketing plans already in place.
