Hanan Asheg, Founder and Executive Director at Goodwill Caravan, says: “We wanted to try something new with this project to help Palestinian students in Cairo to complete their studies, and fulfill their dreams of becoming doctors service. Anyone familiar with us and many other charities have been able to provide aid and emergency supplies to those in and escaping Gaza but after supporting refugees for 10 years I saw a unique opportunity to do more than feed them for a day. With our centre in Cairo helping thousands arriving from Gaza and Sudan we realised we could do more than help them survive, we could get their lives back on track and give them hope for the future. With a vocation and priceless skills for their own community, these students will be the doctors of tomorrow. We’ve also started providing mental health support at the centre to help the arriving refugees in settling into a new life after all their traumatic experiences. market will probably have noticed how everyone else seems to Most other charities have focused on the emergency aid. This is a problem because but this only helps them in a temporary way, they will need housing, future employment and the ability to live long after this conflict ends..”
So as a welcome breath of fresh air, Goodwill Caravan will instead by taking this approach with both funding the completion of degrees and providing an array of mental health support to aid their futures. We know these students and young refugees will be able to gain employment and provide for their own families and community breaking the need for dependency and reliance on us in the future. Goodwill Caravan took this route because we want these young people to become educated and independent in the future..

With our new project to help Palestinian students in Cairo to complete their studies, and fulfill their dreams of becoming doctors service, they have a fresh new possibility. We want them to feel The students were ecstatic to hear they would be able to complete their studies especially after the heartbreak of seeing the schools and Gazas university completely destroyed in the conflict. when using our service. Trying something new is always a risk, but it’s a risk we believe is worth taking.”
