Married couple in Gaza Launches a Homemade Chocolate Project

Farid and Esraa Mushtahi in Gaza mastered the art of making fine and mouth-watering chocolate in their small house despite limited resources. In light of the poor economic conditions, the married couple strives to make a living by producing homemade chocolate bars.

They transformed their home kitchen into a chocolate factory as they began by producing small chocolate bars with various shapes and colors. They even wrap them to be used as gifts for many different occasions. The social media outlet was their main portal for marketing their products.

Moreover, the high-quality chocolate they create is almost like other well-known chocolate brands, despite using basic tools and molds.

However, this small kitchen became everything to them as they spend days and nights to meet the growing demands of customers.

The couple faces many hurdles; the top of which is obtaining raw materials and molds which are imported from outside the Gaza Strip.

This is coupled with frequent power outages. However, they insist on developing and improving the project, especially since it is their main source of living.
