Dalia and her 9 siblings lost their father in the 2008/9 assault of the Gaza Strip. The Mustaqbali program helped Dalia and her siblings complete their studies by providing them with co-curricular and financial support. When Dalia, the eldest, finished high school, she needed help to realize her dream of completing a university education. The Mustaqbali program provided her with experiential training and the funds needed to complete her education. After graduation, she joined a group of teachers who work for Mustaqbali. She is one of the 14 young university graduates and 3 mothers who benefitted from and now work for the program. Dalia is happy in her new position and is able to provide for her family. “since we lost our father, Mustaqbali has stood by our side. I am very happy to be serving my community with the program that helped me, “ she said.
