Never letting a challenge stop her from moving forward, Nadia now has the opportunity to do everything that she always dreamed of doing; living in full freedom and pursuing her studies and trying to help her home country and her own family. A woman from Afghanistan, currently residing in Barcelona, Spain comes to us to share her life experiences while living in her home country of Afghanistan. Her story of loss, tenacity and perseverance are both inspiring and heart-wrenching. Her resilience is incredible and her goal is to spread awareness about the importance of education and the role that plays in rebuilding her home country. She is dedicating her life to empowering her people in Afghanistan through education so they can continue to be a voice in fighting for control of their home.
