Despite all odds, Hasna, a 67-year-old widow from al Deheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem decided to challenge cancer and pursue her own dream project.
Hasna is one of the beneficiaries of the “Karama for Food Security and Economic Empowerment in the south West Bank refugee camps”. The project aims to promote the recuperation of unused spaces such as rooftops for developing new productive green space. This project has inspired a change in her life as Hasna’s income has increased and her will to fight cancer has been strengthened. The photos below describe Hasna’s journey turning a barren rooftop to a lively edible garden.
