Hikmat Palestine is a multiplier fund dedicated to fast-tracking innovative Palestinian initiatives. We believe in the Falafel Theory—achieving more with less, for more—and we champion leapfrog solutions that skip outdated processes to deliver immediate, high-impact change. From grassroots education programs to tech-driven social enterprises, we equip bold thinkers to transform their ideas into tangible results.
How It Works
- We listen to Palestinian communities to uncover
urgent needs and hidden potential. - We train youth through innovative, hands-on programs
rooted in creativity and resilience. - We support participants in turning bold ideas into real-
world solutions. - We amplify their impact by connecting them to
mentors, partners, and global networks.
Who we Help
- Youth living under occupation, blockade, or
displacement with limited access to opportunity. - Aspiring changemakers who have ideas but lack the
tools to bring them to life. - Marginalized communities in Gaza, the West Bank, and
refugee camps. - Local leaders and educators working to uplift others
despite systemic barriers.
Why It Matters
- Injustice has silenced too many voices — we help them speak, lead, and build.
- Empowered youth don’t wait for change — they create it.
- Innovation born in struggle carries the power to transform entire communities.
- A future built by Palestinians, for Palestinians, is the most powerful resistance of all.

Palestinian Stories Take the Global Stage
Supporting authentic Palestinian cinema at the Cannes Film Festival through creative collaboration and global advocacy.
In 2025, Hikmat Palestine collaborated with Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi to showcase the film From Ground Zero at the Cannes Film Festival. This partnership aimed to amplify Palestinian narratives on a global platform, highlighting the resilience and creativity of Palestinian cinema. The film’s presence at Cannes underscored the importance of supporting authentic storytelling that reflects the lived experiences of Palestinians.
