The 2048 Foundation funds creative Palestinian projects. The program is designed to support Palestinians of all ages to bring their ideas to life through financial and networking support. With a focus on funding projects that are viable, innovative, sustainable and beneficial to the community — once accepted, you become a part of a lifelong resource network of 2048 Foundation alumni. Encouraging a new generation to embrace innovation and take ownership of their creativity, 2048 is the embodiment of an optimistic future where Palestinian ideas become a reality. 

“Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we at the STE(A)M ECO project, a part of the MKNA Makerspace startup dedicated to revolutionizing education in Palestine through STEM-based initiatives, have made significant strides in our mission to transform learning into an engaging, hands-on experience. Through this grant, we were able to purchase equipment and tools that helped us develop innovative prototypes, including 3D printing and carpentry machines, which not only made our work easier but also provided students with the opportunity to learn new technologies that will shape their future. Our focus on  providing hands-on learning complements the theoretical education students receive in schools, making 

science more enjoyable and accessible. In a very short time, we trained 80 students through our programs, and over the next 4 months, we are targeting 300 students as just the beginning. The grant has also enabled us to integrate more girls into STEM education while reaching underserved students, offering them the chance to experience practical, real-world learning. Currently, we are developing 10 STEM kits in Arabic, which will have a profound impact across Palestine, supporting our goal of creating sustainable STEM education for the future. These kits will be used in our MKNA Makerspace with students during school visits or as part of our after-school programs”. Israa Othman, Founder & CEO
