Success Stories

“I recently completed the final secondary exam successfully. It was a long and hard year for me - I faced a lot of difficulties.

Before I got access to Abwaab, I did not have the basic tools to study. I was lucky to have the opportunity to get access to the platform through Children of War Foundation’s learning program. This was a golden opportunity for me to complete my secondary education.

Studying on Abwaab’s platform was the only way to learn and pass the secondary education level, and especially with the help of Children of War foundation, providing the tools and mentoring that assisted in learning. I want to thank Children of War and Unique Zan Foundation, and everyone who helped me to pass in these hard conditions.”

Aisha, Class of 2022

"I successfully finished the high school exam this year.

It was a very difficult year because of the circumstances I faced, because I could not attend private lessons or enroll in anearby school, but through the Children of War Foundationand support from Unique Zan Foundation, I started studyingon Abwaab’s platform about ten months ago.

I work in a farm to support my family, so being able to use the platform changed my life, because it allowed me to work and study at the same time.

By using the platform, I learned a lot of lessons in varioussubjects. Studying on the platform was a lifeline for me."
