Empower Palestinians to rebuild themselves
How long will we keep donating, while Palestinians wait to build?

How much smaller the Palestinian economy is since the war
Gaza needs $71 billion to rebuild. The West Bank can barely trade. 3.5 million Palestinians at home and 7 million abroad need a new way to earn. Not the one that's holding them back.

Palestinians living outside Palestine, with no way to help home
War pushed Palestinians out of Palestine. Many are starting over in Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Europe, and North America. Those who stayed have no easy way to receive help from those who left. People abroad want to help. People at home need it. Nothing connects them.

Share of people in Gaza now living on aid
Aid keeps people alive, but it does not build anything. When the aid stops, nothing is left behind. One dollar of food aid is eaten once. One dollar in a small business is spent again and again, making $4 to $7 of new local activity.

Of people in Gaza have no job, and 32% in the West Bank
Hundreds of thousands of skilled Palestinians sit at home with nothing to do. Engineers, teachers, designers, builders, farmers, shopkeepers. A whole generation is losing its skills and its hope. That talent is going to waste.
Most aid in Gaza keeps people alive. That matters. But survival isn't a future.
Bidhra funds the next step: the bakery that reopens, the seamstress who buys a new machine, the shop owner who restocks his shelves. When you give to Bidhra, you're not feeding one family for one week. You're restarting a business that will feed dozens of families for years.
Every dollar you give goes directly into the hands of a Palestinian business owner who has a plan, a skill, and a will to rebuild.
Any Palestinian, anywhere, applies with a business idea, or one that needs to grow. To be accepted, they make two promises: hire only Palestinians who need work, and share a part of future profits to fund the next business.
Our team checks every applicant through video calls, references, and a clear plan. No anonymous projects. No middlemen. Every owner we approve is real, named, and answerable.
People in the diaspora and ethical supporters contribute $50, $500, or more. Every contribution is tracked. Every dollar is shown in public.
The owner opens the business and hires Palestinians who need work. Supporters follow the journey through updates, photos, and videos. One funded business becomes a small employer.
When the business turns a profit, it gives back a share to Bidhra. That money funds the next Palestinian business. Then that one funds the next. And so on.
One funded family becomes a community. A community becomes an economy.
