Abed Al Maged, who appears in the photo, is a 33-year-old man from Rafah City in the Gaza Strip. He is a single man living with his parents and he is trying hard to provide for all of his family’s needs. He works as a taxi driver. He earns a very low income that is not enough to provide for the basic needs of his family. His house was destroyed in the last conflict in Gaza.
He applied for a US dollar loan from Palestine for Credit and Development (FATEN) so that he can pay the rent on the house where he currently lives until he is able to rebuild his house. He hopes that his loan will be funded since it will help him pay these costs.
