The Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy (PIPD)
In line with the mission of amplifying Palestinian voices across the globe, PIPD is undergoing the launch of Sole Survivors’ Stories, a powerful digital series co-produced with Peabody and Emmy Award-winning journalist Bisan Owda. The project brings to life the experiences of Palestinians in Gaza who have survived immense personal loss amid ongoing devastation. Through five emotionally resonant episodes, the series highlights themes of grief, Sumud (steadfastness), injustice, and resilience, creating a bridge of empathy between global audiences and the people of Gaza.
sTF5 Care contributed to this initiative by funding the production of the series, helping ensure the stories of survivors—such as young brothers navigating life after the loss of their family reach international platforms. This collaboration strengthens sTF5 Care’s advocacy pillar by supporting authentic Palestinian storytelling, empowering local creators, and driving global awareness and solidarity. It also reflects sTF5 Care’s broader commitment to dignity, justice, and community resilience through culture, advocacy, and strategic partnerships.
