Safa and Anwar are a couple form Rafah in the Gaza Strip. Samah, Ahmed, Mohammad, and Maha who are respectively 10, 8, 4 and 2 years old, are their beautiful children. The couple own and run a bakery in Rafah which provides the neighboring areas with bread and tasty pastries.

When Safa and Anwar opened their bakery two years ago, it quickly moved from serving the neighborhood where it's located to serving a wider range of customers. The bakery blockbuster encouraged Safa to ask for a loan in order to expand the bakery and purchase larger quantities of ingredients.

Safa hopes the bakery continues to prosper as it's their only source of income. Anwar appears in the picture at their bakery.
