Today’s episode is with Majd Mashharawi, a resident of war-torn Gaza, who observed the acute need for access to construction material in order to rebuild damaged buildings and infrastructure. She strove to meet this need by founding GreenCake in 2015, a company that creates environmentally friendly bricks from ash and rubble. GreenCake was a runner-up in the annual MIT Pan Arab competition. In the summer of 2017 she developed SunBox, an affordable solar system that produces energy to alleviate the effects of the energy crisis in Gaza, where access to electricity has been severely restricted, sometimes to less than three hours a day. With SunBox, she has been able to provide electricity to hundreds of people. In 2018 she was selected as one of the most creative people in business by Fast Company and SunBox won the MIT Pan Arab competition, competing against 6000 entries. Her TED Talk, How I’m making bricks out of ashes and rubble in Gaza, has received nearly 1.3 Million views so far. Last September Ms. Mashharawi and Sunbox company was awarded the Muhammed Ali Humanitarian Award in Louisville Kentucky by the Muhammad Ali Center. You can find her on FB, Instagram, Linkedin. We talk about the following and so much more: ✅ Why she decided to focus on electricity in Gaza as an industry ✅ Why and how she created Sunbox ✅ Some of the challenges she faced in building the product and the company ✅ How being a new mom has transformed the way she sees the world Stay tuned for upcoming episodes with startup founders in the Middle East and North Africa!

Many thanks to Palestinian Entrepreneur, Majd Mashharawi for her very raw and candid talk about the difficulties she and other women have faced trying to find work and start their own businesses in occupied Gaza. The statistics will shock you, but should hopefully provide a bit of insight (and hope) to an historical region that is very poorly discussed in the Western world. Like this episode?

I'll be honest, when a colleague reached out to me several months ago asking if I would be interested in interviewing Majd Mashharawi, TED Talk speaker and founder of GreenCake and Sunbox, I was floored. This woman's initiatives are incredible. Not only has she been able to transform the lives of thousands through her groundbreaking inventions, but she continues to break glass ceilings, especially in environments that are entirely male dominated. To learn more about her work I highly suggest you check out the links below. And also stay tuned for her upcoming talk on female entrepreneurship. (P.S. Listen to the end so you can find out who our FIRST C&C merchandise winner is!) Show notes: What is 'Green Cake' and why did this woman invent it?

Majd Mashharawi (26) is an engineer and founder of two companies in Gaza. A place that is often referred to as the biggest open air prison in the world. But instead of surrendering to her fate, Majd decided to create something under occupation, siege and patriarchy. In headscarf and high heels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Her company Greencake is turning rubble and ashes into bricks and houses. Her company Sunbox is turning sunlight into electricity, and salt water into drinking water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We talk about weddings, being betrayed, the sound of a rocket and social entrepreneurship. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Majd's Utopia is flying over Gaza and seeing solar panels all over the roof tops.

Catch up with the goats fighting forest fires in Spain and discover where else in the world they’re being used. This programme looks at what happened next to some of the people and projects we have featured in past episodes. We also revisit a scheme in Greece that’s helping people give their leftover medicines to those who can’t afford to buy them. And we check in with Majd Mashharawi who had found a way of creating brand new concrete blocks using ash and the rubble from old buildings. Image credit: Getty Images

Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip shapes people’s lives in many different ways. In this episode, we focus on the chronic energy shortage. Because energy is needed for much more than turning on the lights; water, sewage, and hospitals, schools, farms, and factories — they all depend on a steady supply of electricity. First, producer Max Freedman speaks with Tania Hary, executive director of Gisha, to learn why Gaza’s energy infrastructure can only meet about half of the demand. Then, the story of Majd Mashharawi: a young engineer and entrepreneur who is harnessing Gaza’s most plentiful natural resource — sunlight — to bring power to her people.
