Gaza Sky Geeks is an initiative born out of Mercy Corps’ desire to extend its work beyond traditional humanitarian programs, and Google’s interest in the Gazan tech community. What started as an initiative supporting Gazan entrepreneurship through Bootcamps in 2011 has transformed into a true powerhouse of tech and innovation. Now operating across Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, Gaza Sky Geeks provides freelancers, founders, and coders with the technical training and support they need to earn an income online.

GSG wants to build an internationally admired and competitive tech sector in Palestine that creates high-salary jobs and future leaders.

To get there, GSG is connecting world-class technical, professional, financial, and community resources to any Palestinian who wants to work online or in tech.
