The mural, funded by the US Exchange Alumni Program and inaugurated by the mayor, features empowering messages encouraging youth to pursue their dreams and ambitions for a better world.Bahja is an initiative focused on raising awareness about the importance of including children with special needs in the community. Through a workshop that paired special needs children with other children, we promoted wellbeing and inclusion through collaborative art activities.We created an Impact Box filled with tools to engage children on recycling, empowering them to become change agents. Workshops were conducted across the MENA region, and teachers were trained to scale the program.
