Every child deserves the right to a good life.

A life that keeps them safe from danger, protected against starvation and pain, and free from death.

In Syria, more than 2 million children have fled their homes as a result of the civil war that has dominated the country for nearly seven years.

Hiba Nabulsi is one of those children. She’s a Syrian refugee who fled Syria, and miraculously found hope where most are hopeless.

At just 10 years old, she embarked on a voyage that she calls “a journey of death for the Syrians to Europe,” in hopes of saving herself from the violence that plagues her country.

Hiba’s escape from Syria was a matter of life and death, and her future would seem to be one that reflects her past: poverty, hardship and violence. But she’s determined for it to be just the opposite.
