Through heartwarming success stories and candid insights into the challenges faced, Malik demonstrates how GII's work is not just about immediate relief but about creating lasting, positive impacts that can change the trajectory of families for generations to come. Her message is clear: with creativity, compassion, and community collaboration, we can turn the refugee crisis into an opportunity for empowerment and growth.
