The Story of Hussein

By Haneen Khaled | Program Director

Hussein Inside his Tent
Hussein Inside his Tent

Hussein is a Palestinian refugee in his seventies. His parents resided in Ein ElHelweh Palestinian Camp, following their expulsion from Palestine in 1948. Since then, he has been a refugee, spending his entire life in that camp. Hussein has always been deeply passionate about gardening, but he lacked the resources and capacity to turn his passion into reality. Recognizing his potential, Jafra stepped in to support him. Through specialized capacity-building training provided by an agricultural engineer, Jafra equipped Hussein with the knowledge and skills needed to start his gardening journey.

 

In addition, Jafra supplied him with essential materials, including seeds, seedlings, pots, and even a greenhouse tent, enabling him to transform his rooftop into a thriving garden. As a result of his dedication and the support he received, Hussein has achieved self-sufficiency through the produce from his plants.

 

Hussein has begun using the produce from his garden to prepare meals for himself and his family, significantly reducing his grocery expenses. His self-sufficiency has not only saved him money but also provided him with fresh, organic ingredients for daily cooking.

 

Moreover, Hussein’s rooftop has flourished to the point where he now shares the abundance with his neighbors and family members. He distributes surplus produce, particularly greens and aromatic plants, fostering a sense of community and generosity. Hussein’s journey showcases how passion, combined with the right support and resources, can transform lives and inspire others in his community.
