WHAT BENEFICIARIES SHARED 

At Jaber Al Sarhan school, many students felt the positive effects of the services offered by “Madrasati”, including included 13-year old Azzam.

Azzam used to be a school drop-out, but he was inspired to go back to school after hearing about Madrasati’s after-school club activities from his friends. Although Azzam was worried that he had fallen far behind his classmates in his studies, he approached the school’s principal to ask if he could return. Azzam was keen to participate in the activities run by “Madrasati” and he eagerly promised the principal that he would commit to attending school.

Two years have passed since then and Azzam is still in school and has noticeably shown a lot more effort. He says, “because of Madrasati, I came back to school”.
