Karam from Palestine

$1500 buy a solar system for heating water for the family house.

Karam is a 28-year-old single man from Jabalia city, which is located in the Gaza Strip and regularly suffers from power outages 12 to 16 hours a day. He lives with his family in a small house. As an employee in the private sector, he earns a low income. This income barely covers all the family's needs.

Because he is not able to save enough money, Karam took a USD loan from FATEN. With this loan, he will buy a solar system for heating water for the family house. Palestinians use water boilers that use either gas or gasoline to heat the water before a shower, which can be dangerous, expensive, and inefficient. This will help him to provide hot water without using electricity, which is much more expensive.
