Since winning the Young Champions of the Earth prize in 2018 for West Asia, her vision has come a long way and she plans to take the action further.
“At the start of my journey, I faced some challenges regarding the set-up of my organization in Kuwait. But together with support from colleagues in the region, we are tackling these together, and look forward to stronger collaboration in 2019,” she said.
