10-year old Zahra’s story: A childhood in a refugee camp
Ten-year-old Zahra is a Syrian refugee living in a make-shift home in a refugee camp. As well as fleeing her home amid violence and suffering, Zahra has suffered incredible, deep loss. Last year, her precious mother passed away, leaving a huge gaping hole in Zahra’s life.
While she longs for her mother’s touch and words of comfort, Zahra must be strong for her siblings and father. Their home fails to protect them. In the winter, it is terribly cold and throughout the year it becomes muddy and flooded due to rains. Zahra and her siblings often shiver through the nights worrying about getting unwell when the nearest hospital is still just way too far.
Like any child, Zahra dreams of safety, toys and joy. Instead, she worries about surviving. Will you help vulnerable families like Zahra’s?
