Dima Design Desk
Freelance digital work in brand and print design, translation and data entry, delivered by three women to remote clients.
ANQA supports women in the Gaza Strip to launch and sustain their own projects, from tatreez and tailoring to home food production and freelance digital work. Every application is reviewed against written criteria, and every woman accepted is supported with training and follow-up until her project brings in a steady income.
Not a statement of intent. This is how ANQA actually works with every woman it supports.
Applications open in announced windows with fixed dates. Every application is read against the same written criteria, published in advance, and every applicant receives a clear decision.
Every woman accepted receives practical training in managing, pricing and selling, regular follow-up, and support shaped by what her project actually needs rather than by a fixed template.
No woman's name, photograph, project or story appears on this site without her own explicit, recorded consent. She can say no without it affecting her place in the programme, and she can withdraw consent at any time; the material then disappears from the site.

The stitch has been in my hands since I was a girl. What the programme taught me was to count the hours and put a price on them.
