She built a startup, then genocide came. Now she&#39;s rebuilding childhood. Before October 2023, Amani Abed was a software engineer and EdTech founder. Her startup providing online tutoring to university students in Saudi Arabia had earned funding from Gaza Sky Geeks, Google, and Intersect Hub. She was helping students bridge the gap to the professional market.&nbsp; Then over 80% of Gaza&#39;s schools were destroyed. Gaza&#39;s education system has been methodically dismantled. Children who survive displacement, hunger, and loss are also losing the structure, literacy, and sense of normalcy that school provides. Without intervention, an entire generation risks being unable to read, write, or imagine a future. So, Amani made a decision: set aside everything she had built, and meet Gaza&#39;s children where they were. Zad Al-Ghad &mdash; &quot;provisions for tomorrow&quot; &mdash; is a school Amani opened to mitigate the devestating loss of childhood literacy and education fundamentals.
