"Thanks to Taawon, I didn’t give in to despair and could meet my children’s needs. These services weren’t just assistance—they were the key to a dignified life for me and my children."

"We lost so much in this war. In addition to the friends, relatives, and neighbors that  we lost, we also lost our homes. Our homes were our security, they were our memories. When the ceasefire started, we discovered our house was nothing but a pile of rubble. Everything in our houses holds memories - the pictures of our children growing up, my mother’s thob that I consider my most valuable belonging, the 50-year old olive tree in our garden, the rose bush that I nurtured and watch bloom. All of it is gone and can’t be replaced. But we will begin anew." Listen to the full testimony here:

"How will the time pass until we return to the family home, that place where we lived the most beautiful moments of our lives? I told myself that we have only escaped death for a limited time, as if what lies ahead holds what we fear to face. Unfortunately, anxiety still fills me."

 

— Sifyan Badr, an employee in the Gaza Strip
