1. From a Home Basement to a
Classroom for the Children of Martyrs — An Interview with Activist Nada Samia
from Idlib
Nada Samia
is a prominent name in the Idlib community; a Syrian woman who believed that
life does not end with war, and therefore decided to turn her home into a
school of hope for the children of martyrs and detainees. At the beginning of
the revolution and with the escalation of the crisis, she welcomed into her
home children who had lost their fathers or mothers, or whose education had
been interrupted. She then launched her initiative “Barqat Amal” (A Glimmer of
Hope) to promote civic education and empower women
With the
help of several women who possess awareness, culture, and determination, we
were able to accomplish a lot in empowering women and activating their role in
civic life,” Nada said, expressing her insistence on confronting challenges
From a dark
basement to a vibrant educational hall: Nada learned that difficulties are not
a barrier, but rather an opportunity to build a new society. She offers
literacy courses, computer classes, English education for young men and women,
in addition to psychological and social support for those who suffered from
displacement or the loss of family members
One of the
trainees, a mother of two named “Ruaa” (34 years old), says that thanks to the
Barqat Amal courses, she was able to find a job that helps secure a livelihood
for her family. This is how pain is transformed into opportunity — and this is
exactly what makes Nada and Barqat Amal a symbol of hope in Idlib
Nada does
not see education as mere lessons, but as a tangible improvement in the lives
of people who were in dire need of an opportunity. In this way, she has
presented a living example that a human being, even in the harshest
circumstances, is capable of creating change through willpower and
determination.
Conclusion:
Nada Samia’s story confirms that a simple initiative — in a small home — can
become a glimmer of hope for dozens of families, and restore confidence that
the local community in Idlib is still alive and resilient, despite everything
it has endured
