Save the Children’s Girls Empowerment Centre in Za’atari refugee camp in Jordan is a joyful hive of activity – where female trainers mentor girls on life skills and self-defense.
Shehab* is a gentle spirit who loves drawing anime and designing clothes. She was born with a disability and arrived at the camp aged four after fleeing conflict in Syria. Bullying caused her to drop out of school, leaving her in a dark place until Save the Children’s outreach staff introduced her to the centre. She regained confidence, and now she’s back in the classroom.
Her goal? To stay in education and train to become a human rights lawyer. And who knows how many lives she could touch.
Thank you for being part of Shehab’s amazing story ❤️
