In the evenings in the Gaza Strip, the power cuts leave many public areas dark. The lack of electricity has prevented people from enjoying the popular Kateeb and Barcelona Parks in the evenings. However, after Taawon installed solar batteries to light the parks, the two gardens have been reinvigorated as vibrant spaces of public life, even after sunset. People in the neighborhood are happy with the improvement and hope the project will continue in other places. The project was implemented by the University college for Applied sciences, funded by the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development.
