In Jub El Dib, hosting weddings or condolence gatherings posed a logistical challenge, as residents had to rent chairs from companies in Bethlehem. Fatima Al Wahsh saw this gap and envisioned a solution. With our support, she received 150 chairs to start her own rental service. Today, for every event in the village, residents turn to Fatima for their seating needs. “I feel proud knowing that I’m helping my community while running a business,” Fatima said. Her idea has not only filled a community need but has also turned a simple concept into a sustainable livelihood.

Jub El Dib had no local source of eggs, forcing residents to buy them from neighboring villages. Zainab Ibrahim saw this as an opportunity to make a difference. With our support, she received 50 laying hens, which she now keeps in an empty room in her garden. Today, Zainab supplies fresh eggs to local supermarkets and earns her own income. “It feels great to know that the eggs I collect every day are helping my neighbors and sustaining my family,” Zainab said. Her initiative has created a reliable source of fresh produce for the village while empowering her as a businesswoman.

Empowering Amneh Al Wahsh: The Village Tailor

Amneh Al Wahsh, a resident of Jub El Dib, shared a longstanding challenge in her village—there was no tailor shop. Villagers had to travel to the next town for tailoring services, which was both inconvenient and costly. Recognizing her talent, we supported Amneh by providing her with two sewing machines. Today, Amneh works from home and proudly serves as the only tailor in Jub El Dib. “I’m very happy because I’ve always known how to sew, but I never had the money to buy the machines. Now, I have my own income,” she shared with pride. Amneh’s determination and new business have not only eased life for her neighbors but have also given her financial independence.
