Sara is a ten-year-old girl who has only experienced conflict as the Syria crisis enters its eleventh year this March. She has been displaced around fourteen times since 2013 with her family. As a result of being displaced so many times Sara has missed out on several years of school and is now in the third grade, when she should be in the sixth grade. Sara dreams of going back to her home town and becoming a doctor. Her father participated in an IRC project funded by FCDO through which vulnerable Syrian women and men are provided with short-term work opportunities in exchange for a cash grant. In this case Sara’s father worked towards renovating a clinic in the town where he lives.
