Empowering small-holder farmers, ensuring food security

More than two years from their establishment, members of marginalized farms from the West Bank still work at the small projects they started through support from Hasaad. Intissar Seifan, one of the project’s beneficiaries started preparing her land and building a green house after she received a Hasaad grant.

Intissar recollects her happiness after receiving the grant “Seeing the green house actually constructed has been a dream of mine for a long time, and it has finally been realized. I never imagined the level of income I would generate from this project, I now earn 1,000 USD a month each season, what adds up to 3,000 USD. I planted the greenhouse for two consecutive seasons, and continued to generate the same amount of revenue. We even started thinking about what to do with the money that has remained after paying our children’s university fees, we went back to an unused piece of land and built another green house on it, we now have two greenhouses and are looking forward to further expanding our project.”
