I am back again to raise money for GSG. This time i am running with a great and fun team

1. Phil Austin- Marathon - raising the American flag
2. Lelia Bouhafs - our coach & mentor - raising the French flag
3. Ana Maria Ruiz Rivadeneira - Half Marathon - raising the Colombian flag
4. Ahmed Saleh - Marathon - raising the Palestinian flag

Why did we pick Gaza Sky Geeks?

Because I (Ahmed) persuaded the team. They are so smart to do so :)

I believe Gaza Sky Geeks is doing great work with an inspiring vision. Most of the international funds that go to this region are mainly focusing on handling crisis and emergency funds (which are short-term solutions - Fire Fighting) rather than long term-sustainable solutions (Fire Prevention)

I am a believer of the proverb except for the fact that it only mentions men not women as well:

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime”

GSG are working not only to help people build startups but also build the startup ecosystem in such a disrupted area of the world where basic needs are not even there. (For example, electricity, opening a bank account easily and transferring funds, forming a company, etc).

•    $40 can help us pay for one square meter of new office space for an entire year
•    $80 can help us pay for a full day of increased generator, fuel, and maintenance power up an additional 100 freelancers, coders, and startups in our new space
•    $100 can covers 1 full day of generator electricity in our current co-working space
•    $300 could pay for the weekly amortization costs of installing new fiber wiring and wifi routers to support hundreds of connected devices for hackathons, workshops, and coworkers
•    $500 can enable 4 women to commute to our hub from the other side of gaza for a month to learn to code and build businesses
•    $1,000 could pay the full cost of tuition and expenses to train one gazan full-stack developer.

Any donation, large or small, would be greatly appreciated and go such a long way in building and sustaining an infrastructure that will promote long term solutions to a region where its most needed.

Thank you so much for your support!!!
