Success Story: Amal Adwan's Journey to Empowerment

 

Amal Adwan, a dedicated woman from Qalandia  refugee Camp, faced significant psychological pressures due to her challenging life circumstances. As the primary caregiver for her family, including her sick husband and children. Amal was determined to find a way to support them. She had an idea for a project that could provide for her family's needs, but she needed guidance and support to bring it to life.

 

From the beginning of the Safe Spaces program implemented by Palestine: Sports for Life (PS4L), Amal joined to participate in an entrepreneurship program. This program not only provided her with the knowledge and skills needed to start her own business but also empowered her with the confidence to pursue her dreams.

 

Amal learned essential marketing strategies and how to apply them to her project, transforming her initial idea into a viable business plan. The program also taught her the importance of creative thinking, planning, execution, and the ability to develop unique ideas that set her apart from others in the market.

With the support of trainers, Ms. Lina and Ms. Rana, Amal was able to establish valuable connections that played a crucial role in promoting her project. These relationships helped her to introduce her product to a wider audience, leading to increased visibility and sales.

Thanks to the entrepreneurship program and the psychological support provided through the Safe Spaces program,  Amal's project has flourished. Not only has she created a new source of income, but she has also expanded her business, providing her family with a more secure future.

The emotional release she experienced during the program sessions was equally important, as it allowed her to replace negative energy with positive, creative forces. This shift in mindset was pivotal in helping Amal see new possibilities and approach her work with renewed enthusiasm.

Today, Amal Adwan's success story stands as a testament to the power of support, education, and resilience. Through the Safe Spaces program by Palestine: Sports for Life & Frieda, she has not only improved her family's life but also inspired others in her community to pursue their own dreams.
