When Ziada first came to us two years ago, she wanted to learn literacy. After giving birth, her family could no longer afford to send her to school, and she knew Malaika’s programming is offered free of charge.
She has grown into a key player in daily life at our community center, who helps mark the beginning and end of teaching periods with whistling. She is a very determined, disciplined and fierce girl, and we know her future is bright.
