YOUTH, SPORTS AND LEADERSHIP

The 2048 Foundation, established in 2023 by Marwan Abdelhamid, also known as Saint Levant, is dedicated to fostering Palestinian arts, culture, and creativity. Born from the belief that art and culture amplify and elevate Palestinian voices, the foundation supports community-driven projects led by Palestinians. 2048 give Palestinian creators the space, support, and spotlight they deserve. Through funding, visibility, and a platform to share their stories, we help them create boldly and inspire the next generation.

Through 2048, APIC supports MKNA Makerspace, a Palestinian initiative empowering children and youth through hands-on STEM education, innovation, and eco-friendly prototyping. During this period, MKNA focused on student-centered programming, early curriculum development, and building strong local institutional partnerships.
“The grant not only helped us buy hardware but also helped us with networking. We were given a variety of expertise not only in Palestine. There was a whole team providing us with support and knowing exactly what our needs were. They connected us with organizations that can also help us in this project, which is in itself a very important experience to gain. “
