Fathiya Al Mahmoud: A Mother to Many
For Egyptian Fathiya Al Mahmoud, the journey began when her deepest dream was to become a mother. Struggling with childlessness for over three decades, she found fulfillment by adopting not one or two, but 34 orphaned girls. Some arrived at her doorstep on the brink of death, but Mama Fathiya's care and compassion nursed them back to life. Winning Dh1 million as an Arab Hope Maker, her dream now extends to securing higher education for her girls. This generous award aims to empower them to excel in medical school, engineering, or any field of their choice, building fulfilling lives.
