Majd Mashharawi was walking through her war-torn neighborhood in Gaza when an idea flashed in her mind: What if she could take the rubble and transform it into building materials? See how she designed a brick made out of ashes that's helping people rebuild their homes -- and learn about her new project: bringing solar-powered energy to families living in darkness.

Hello Everyone! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my talk and thanks for dropping a comment either you agree on what I said or you disagree. I want to say one thing, all what I am doing is pure social businesses trying to change the life of 2M people in Gaza. Politics FAILED us so we try to bring the solution ourselves ❤️ With love, Majd Mashharawi

@josefchannelovich7975 5 лет назад

You are right, politicas have failed you. If you change your government and choose a peaceful instead of the terrorist organization leading you at the moment, you'll see drastic change in your life. Look at your neighboring country - Israel. Developed country with high-tech, unlimited supply of clean water and so on. You could also become like that if you just accept Israel's right to exist and live peacefully with us and stop wanting to destroy and kill us.

@G_G251 5 лет назад

I'm from Israel and I believe that most people on both sides want to live in peace with the other side. Unfortunately, there are big industries/corporations (both local and international) that rely on there being a never-ending conflict in Israel-Palestine, and the Middle East as a whole. "One has to realize that the powerful industrial groups concerned in the manufacture of arms are doing their best in all countries to prevent the peaceful settlement of international disputes" (Albert Einstein, The World As I See It) Historically, leaders that try to foster peace, which significantly decreases the profits for those who profit from conflict, see their reign cut short. Any positive change could only come from the bottom, like we see here in this video.

@armedwombat6816 5 лет назад

Industries? You're clearly omitting the political side. People like Netynahu have built their careers by fearmongering. And on the other side the Hamas also lives from perpetuating the conflict. If there was ever a lasting peace and some kind of democratic palestinian state, nobody would have use for them anymore . Or take the many islamic gouvernments in the region who use the hate on Israel to distract for inner problems (yet many of those also secretly do business with Israel). And let's not even begin to talk about the Saudis. The whole conflict is a gold mine for demagogues to push political agendas that are against of the interests of the people on all sides. Compared to that, corporate involvment is small-time business.

@brharley0546 5 лет назад

@majdmashharawi7734 5 лет назад

G_Guy001 I agree! I am doing this because I and the other 2M people in Gaza are looking for good life... politics failed us so we are trying to bring the solution ourselves by empowering our local economy through social businesses.
