Request Details
Hello Esteemed Team,
Warm greetings 🌟

My name is Nabil Zaqout, a 33-year-old computer engineer from Gaza, Palestine.

I am a husband and father to three children: Leen (8 years old), Moeen (5 years old), and Rema (9 months old).

I graduated from the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at Al-Azhar University in Gaza in 2013, specializing in web development, SEO, Python, and PHP.

I started working with Google AdSense from home, where I built and managed a team from scratch, including training some of my close friends and family members. My team worked in various fields such as content writing, graphic design, and technical support. It was a successful and impressive start with Google AdSense, which fueled my passion and ambition.

I developed my own projects, large websites, YouTube channels, and mobile applications to profit through Google AdSense. I worked solely with Google as the income was more than sufficient.

After years of hard work, learning, and effort, I founded my company, Lord Group, in January 2022. I had a team of 8 full-time professionals working in various fields. My company was on a rapid rise.

Due to the war on Gaza, Lord Group was almost entirely destroyed, and all equipment and contents were stolen. My home was also completely destroyed. I have been financially drained in Rafah due to high prices. We left our home in the first week of the war because my hometown, Jabalia Camp, was warned at the beginning of the conflict. Therefore, my family and I relocated to Rafah as displaced individuals to save our lives. Now, we are without a home, company, income, or any belongings!

Most of my websites, accounts, and projects were on my company’s computer, and due to power and internet outages, I could not manage anything.
