لأن التعلم عبر الممارسة أجمل، خاض طلاب مدارس المشرق الدولية مع فريق لو تعرف تجربة مميزة عن الزراعة المنزلية والعناية بالنباتات في المدرسة والبيت، وزرعوا أشتال الميرمية والزعتر بأيديهم.
لنجعل الزراعة أسلوب حياة.
Because learning is most powerful through practice, students from Mashrek International School, together with the “If Only You Knew” team, took part in a hands-on experience in gardening and plant care for both school and home, learning to plant sage and thyme seedlings. Let’s make agriculture a way of life.

Mariam Al Jaajaa (@mariamjaajaa ) is a development economist and practitioner working across international development, food systems, and humanitarian response. Her work focuses on how policy, war, and political economy shape access to livelihoods and food sovereignty across the Arab region.
As General Manager of Arab Group for the Protection of Nature, a green resistance non-profit founded in 2003, she leads efforts dedicated to protecting natural resources and strengthening environmental and agricultural resilience, particularly in Palestine and Jordan.
“There's a complete imbalance of power. Throwing words like war and conflict neutralizes the situation, which is not correct. Another issue is the use of, ‘oh, they're food insecure’ rather than saying it's a man made famine.” – @mariamjaajaa

لأن حماية الأرض تبدأ بزرعها، نعمل على تعزيز ثقافة العمل التطوعي والانتماء للأرض لدى الشباب.
بمشاركة متطوعي العربية لحماية الطبيعة وطلبة جامعة الحسين التقنية، زرعنا 400 شجرة مثمرة في الأغوار الشمالية بالأردن.
Because protecting the earth begins with planting it, we aim to foster a culture of volunteerism and strengthen a sense of belonging to the land among youth.

أحد مزارعينا تمكّن من إنتاج أكثر من 18 طنًا من الخيار الطازج من نحو 3 دونمات، ليحوّل الأرض إلى مصدر رزقٍ كريم يعيل عائلته ويؤكد أن الزراعة هي وسيلة بقاء.
حتى يبقى مزارعو غزة قادرين على إنتاج الغذاء… لا بد أن يستمر دعمنا لهم.
One of our farmers produced over 18 tons of fresh cucumbers from around 3 dunums, turning the land into a dignified source of livelihood for his family, and reaffirming agriculture as a cornerstone of survival and resistance.
So Gaza's farmers can keep producing food, join us in standing firmly by their side.

الاستثمار الحقيقي يبدأ من الأرض، وإيماننا بها يدفعنا لنحييها بالزراعة، لتبقى جذورنا أقوى من كل التحديات. في قلب بني نعيم – الخليل، كتبنا حكاية جديدة بالتعاون مع ميدلاب، وزرعنا 460 شجرة مثمرة من العنب واللوزيات.
Land is the enduring foundation of life and livelihood. It is this belief that drives us to revive our land through agriculture, so our roots run deeper and stronger than any challenge we face. In the heart of Bani Na’im, Hebron, we honored this commitment together with MedLabs, planting 460 grapevines and stone fruit trees.

خلال شهر رمضان المبارك، شهدت غزة ارتفاعًا كبيرًا في أسعار الخضروات والمواد الغذائية، فتوحدت جهودنا مع عدد من المتضامنين ووزعنا 740 سلة غذائية استفاد منها نحو 4,440 شخصًا، تضمنت خضارًا طازجة ومواد أساسية.
قد لا يكون هذا الرقم كافيًا أمام حجم الحاجة، لكنه خطوة أولى نسعى لتوسيعها.
During the holy month of Ramadan, Gaza saw a sharp rise in the prices of vegetables and essential food items. In response, we joined efforts with a number of supporters to distribute 740 food baskets containing fresh vegetables and basic supplies, reaching around 4,440 people.
Amid the vast and ongoing need for food, this effort marks a vital step as we work to scale our support across Gaza.

100 trees, 40 team members, and one shared commitment to a greener future. Edgo’s annual tree planting initiative, supporting its Net-Zero Emissions 2045 commitment, was delivered in partnership with @apnorg , as part of APN’s Green Caravan program, and in collaboration with the Asayel Badr Charity Association, supporting climate action and women-led community development.

From 20 to 59 beehives in Gaza - production of honey, important pollination, and a more complete ecosystem is strengthening in Gaza!
The Sameer Project and Arab Protection of Nature (@apnorg ) collaborated in December to provide four beekeepers sugar to revive their beehives, and thus supply of honey. Today we see the fruits of their labor and how far your donations went!
For the beekeepers, affording large quantities of sugar that they needed is beyond their financial reach. So The Sameer Project and Arab Protection of Nature Group provided 2,600 kilos of sugar to the beekeepers, and that cost at the time around $3,980 (including 11% commission). A small amount that truly went a long way thanks to your support.
Self-sufficiency is crucial and despite the ongoing genocide, The Sameer Project supports sustainable projects like this one. In partnership with APN, we have worked on farm projects, beehive projects, and we are exploring other ways to collaborate. But for that we need your material support.
Donate today to the Shelters, Goods, and Activities Campaign to see more sustainable projects in Gaza.
