Ahmed's dream

By Cecilia Cinelli | Project Leader

Temporary school in Mosul region
Temporary school in Mosul region

Keep bringing young people back to school is fundamental to their future and their safety.

Boys who do not study risk being recruited and girls being abducted and enslaved.

Schools in the Mosul region are not just a return to normality, they are safe places to prevent new tragedies from happening.

These are the words of the young Ahmed, 20 years old: “...when the war started I was attending the last year of high school. My dream was about to happen: go to university, study and get a job.Then the bombs arrived and teacher voices have been replaced by soldiers' voices. For four years my dream was interrupted. Now I feel reborn, I have the chance to study again, I can see a future different from war and poverty, so... Thankyou for your support"

 

What are we doing together?

  • we are building 3 schools in the region
  • we are bringing back to school 3750 children and young people
  • we are eliminating the debris around 5 schools
  • we are distributing school kits
  • we are training 50 new teachers
