Enas Al-Ghoul

Enas Al-Ghoul is a Palestinian agricultural engineer specializing in rural development and environmental initiatives in the Gaza Strip. Her work includes creating projects focused on recycling waste materials and developing solar-powered devices to address water and energy challenges during humanitarian crises.

Career In 2020, Al-Ghoul started a project called "Ibra wa Sinara" ("Needle and Thread"), focusing on recycling waste materials such as fabric, leather, wood, and metal. The project employed five women, including two with hearing disabilities. It produced items such as clothing, bags, and furniture. This initiative was based on her research, which highlighted textile and leather waste as the most prevalent types of waste in the Gaza Strip. She promoted environmental awareness and recycling through community workshops and training sessions. The device was designed to convert seawater into drinkable water, addressing the scarcity of clean water caused by the destruction of infrastructure in Khan Yunis. She also created a solar-powered cooker and continued to produce items from recycled materials to support displaced individuals. In December 2024, she was listed on the BBC 100 Women.
