.. I dream of being an Astronaut in the future.”
Qusay is 12 and from Syria. The civil war there forced him and his family from their home in the east of the country.
They began a new life in the city of Aleppo. But like thousands of Syrian children, Qusay had missed out on school and risked falling behind. But thanks to our partner, Swaad’na, he’s been able to return to school and pass his exams.
This year, they are helping 200 young people like Qusay get back to school. They are also supporting young people with breakfasts and meals. Without their support, many of these children would be at risk of recruitment into armed groups.
For Qusay, school has become a welcome distraction from the conflict in his country. He’s feeling inspired, and told our partner that one day he dreams of seeing the earth from space as an Astronaut.
Thousands of children like Qusay have been displaced and miss out on school because of war. We are grateful for all our partners who are there for them 🚀
