Ambassador Naka Kerba’s Project in Collaboration with the Women from “Helping Hand” in Tel-Aviv (מסיל"ה ראשי תיבות: מרכז סיוע ומידע לקהילה הזרה)

First Progress Report:

I have always been taught about the importance of education and the power it can have on our lives. Many people are fortunate enough in life to be in the right environment that encourages them and provides them with the right recourses in order to acquire any sort of education, no matter how high. However, just as many young people grow up without knowing the advantages of having such privilege. Here in Israel, most young asylum seekers only get to finish high school and their further dreams seem almost impossible unless one is lucky. For me, having the privilege and luck in my case to pursue a higher education inspired me to try and help girls younger than me in the same situation. The most important thing a person needs to start anything is to have encouragement and support, knowing that there are people standing right behind you or have gone through the journey alongside you to help you feel stronger. I have assembled a small group of girls that have dreams and nowhere to turn. They will be able to receive a mentorship and the help they need to make their dreams come true. I hope with the success of this project will help to create a better path for us girls.
