Fadia
was raised in a broken family. Her parents were always fighting. Their home was
full of violence. At the age of 16 she ran away with the first man she met.
They got married.
Fadia's
husband turned out to be an alcoholic, who used to beat her regularly. After a
while, as if that were not enough, he started to exploit her and sold her to
other men.
Fadia
gave birth to two children, but her life was not changing. At some point she
wanted to kill herself but she could not. She was invariably thinking of her
kids. Finally she got a divorce and for a while she lived with her kids on the
streets.
Eventually
she was directed to Dar Al Amal, where she received help:
A place to study, eat and sleep was provided
for Fadia's children. The work with Fadia started immediately by offering her
psychological help and by finding her a shelter to sleep. After some time, she
found a job as well and therefore was able to rent a room. She could see her
kids every weekend.
Until
now Fadia still visits Dar Al Amal and participates in field trips.
