25 Million Sparks: The Untold Story of Refugee Entrepreneurs
Description
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2022 BY THE FINANCIAL TIMES
"A powerful story of hope." ―Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
"Discover humanity at its best." ―Judy Woodruff, Anchor & Managing Editor of the PBS NewsHour
The story of three courageous Syrian women entrepreneurs uplifting the Za'atari refugee camp, and of the global refugee entrepreneurship phenomenon they represent.
25 Million Sparks takes readers inside the Za'atari camp to follow the stories of Yasmina, a wedding shop and salon owner creating moments of celebration; Malak, a young artist infusing color and beauty throughout the camp; and Asma, a social entrepreneur leading a storytelling initiative to enrich children's lives. Anchored by these three inspiring stories, as well as accompanying artwork and poetry by Malak and Asma, the narrative expands beyond Za'atari to explore the broader refugee entrepreneurship phenomenon in more than twenty camps and cities across the globe. What emerges is a tale of power, determination, and dignity - of igniting the brightest sparks of joy, even when the rest of the world sees only the darkness.
A significant portion of the author's proceeds from this book is being contributed to refugee entrepreneurs in Za'atari and around the world.
