Five Years of Impact!

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

How can a life be measured? By the smile of a child who wouldn’t have smiled without you? By a young graduate holding a degree that once seemed impossible?

Five years have passed since the launch of the initiative… five years of hope, dreams, and life that you have given to thousands of people—orphans, refugees, those with special needs, and those without a provider. You have been a shining light in their lives, a long-awaited symbol of hope.

The journey of the impact you created:

50,000 students: Fifty thousand students were given a new chance at life, thanks to your generosity.

40,000 study sessions annually: Thousands of children and young adults embark on a brighter future through continuous education.

234 student activity sessions: Moments filled with creativity and interaction, building their self-confidence.

68 academic guidance sessions: Life-changing decisions are made, talents are discovered, and ambitions find their way to reality.

Two vocational training programs: New gateways of hope empower young people to build their professional futures.

Your support was never just about numbers. We were there at every step, providing comprehensive services that included education, psychological support, and student affairs management to lighten the burdens on young hearts in need of care and attention.

All this impact wouldn’t have been possible without:

60,000 hours of work: Representing commitment and collective efforts from a dedicated team.

50 employees and 150 volunteers: Individuals who worked hard and faithfully to make change happen.

4,200 contributors: People who gave their time and resources to make a difference for every student and youth, bringing hope and rebuilding dreams.

The YouTube channel we launched has been, and continues to be, a sustainable charity on your behalf. Its purposeful educational content reaches thousands of children, equipping them with the tools they need to build their future, ensuring its impact remains enduring for years to come.

What does all this mean?
It means you have been the lifeline for these children. You were the hands that lifted them from darkness to light—a series of moments filled with generosity, hope, and true change.

But, have we stopped here?
Five years were just the beginning. The impact you initiated is a legacy worth continuing. Didn’t you feel your hearts swell with pride with every child who returned to their school seat with a smile, and every young woman who found her path to a better future?

On behalf of every child and youth whose life has changed, and on behalf of every dream that became a reality… Thank you. Let’s create together more years of giving.

In just a few days... discover what happened!

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

Imagine the impact a simple step from you could make. One step, yet it illuminated paths that were once dark. It sparked hope in the hearts of students who were desperately in need of a new chance to dream!

Thanks to your generosity, our team was able to organize two academic guidance sessions and five diverse student activity sessions. These opened new doors for our students—orphans, refugees, people with disabilities, and women searching for an opportunity to change their lives:

Academic and Psychological Emergency Preparedness: Students didn’t just learn how to cope with crises; they became true leaders, facing challenges with confidence and strength, turning hardships into opportunities.

Psychological First Aid: These young people are no longer only able to calm troubled souls; they have becomea source of security for their families and communities, extending a helping hand to anyone in need during times of crisis.

Creative Writing: In every word written by the students, in every idea they expressed, there was a new beginning for ambitions and dreams that had long been hidden deep inside them. They discovered how words could be a tool for change, a way to express themselves, and a force to drive others forward.

But this change won’t stop here. The students who underwent this transformation, thanks to your support, are now carrying the torch of knowledge, sharing what they’ve learned with others. The impact you’ve planted today will continue to grow, carrying a message of hope and change for generations to come.

Pause for a moment and think: every smile, every dream fulfilled, every word of thanks, returns to you. You were the bridge that these students crossed towards a better life. How do you feel now, as you see how your giving was the beginning of all this goodness?

Thank you for being the hope the world needed. Thank you for making a difference. Together, we will continue to create small miracles that change lives and build a brighter future.

How Did You Make a Lasting Impact in 15 Days?

By Abdulrazak Madi | Project Leader

In just 15 days, you created an impact that goes beyond words! Fifteen days were enough to change the lives of students who once lived without hope, without certainty; you rekindled their passion and ambition. Can you feel the weight of these moments? Can you imagine the profound impact you left?

Since the beginning of November, thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to provide 216 lessons to ninth-grade and twelfth-grade students in both the science and humanities tracks. Each lesson served as a bridge to their dreams, and every class became a stepping stone in building their aspirations. Can you imagine the joy that filled their hearts? A joy that brought them hope and made them realize that someone stands behind them, supporting them and believing in their potential for success.

Alongside the academic lessons, they received two academic guidance sessions, where they learned to draw their dreams in clear steps, finding someone to guide them, listen to their ambitions and challenges. These sessions were more than just advice; they were compasses for their lives, a new hope they could shape.

In student activity sessions, they shared their happiness, laughter, and formed bonds of friendship and trust. Thanks to your support, they are now more than just students; they are a community, a collection of small dreams brought together, converging, and growing because of your helping hand.

But perhaps the deepest and truest impact has been in the Student Affairs and Mental Health section! Here, each student found a safe space to turn to, psychological support that restored their confidence, and care that gave them the strength to face challenges with renewed spirit. Every word, every gesture of support carried your message to them: You deserve a dignified life, you deserve success, and we are here with you.

All this impact was created in just 15 days! Two weeks, but they represent a lifetime of joy and change for these students. Imagine if this hope continues. How will their destinies change? How will your impact shape each step they take?

From us, and from our students, we extend all our thanks and gratitude. We promise to be the bridge that carries your hopes toward their bright future.
