Nationality: Palestine
Jabra Dukmak is the CEO and Co-Founder of Laheq Halak, a Palestinian social-impact venture that turns help into food. He led the development of the app and its Gift Card model: people anywhere buy a food gift card, a local shop prepares a food box, and a trusted local partner gives it free to a family in need. About a third of each box is rescued surplus food. One gift, four wins: families, local shops, the environment and the giver.
An engineer with a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering and a Master’s in Environmental Engineering from the University of Perugia, Jabra has worked on solid waste management and climate justice projects in Palestine, and as an R&D Engineer at TEA Group in Italy, developing air-quality monitoring technology deployed across Europe and MENA.
He has represented Laheq Halak in 24+ programs across 12+ countries, winning several awards for innovation and social impact.
