“This Is Gaza Too” is an educational initiative designed to empower youth, students, and photography enthusiasts to express the reality of Gaza through imagery and human storytelling. The initiative is grounded in the belief that every individual carries a story worth telling, and that photography has the power to convey truth with a clear voice that transcends borders.
The initiative aims to create a safe learning space where participants can discover their skills, develop their ability to document people’s stories with awareness and respect, and gain a deeper understanding of the human experience.
Through this initiative, anyone around the world can contribute directly to supporting a new generation of storytellers by funding a training seat for a student or a talented young person who cannot access professional courses. Every contribution—no matter its size—helps open the door for a new voice to emerge from Gaza.

Be a Partner in Empowering a Young Person from Gaza
Anyone around the world can take part in this initiative by sponsoring a full training seat—or even half a seat—in the Photography and Human Storytelling Course. This contribution gives a passionate student or a talented young person, who may not have the means to join professional programs, the chance to receive high-quality training that develops their skills and empowers their voice to tell the truth from the heart of Gaza.
Every sponsored seat means supporting a new story, empowering a new young storyteller, and opening a door of hope in a community that needs every voice capable of expression and documentation.
