Despite war and hardship, I completed my first semester with excellence. With

your support, I can continue my Master’s in Data Science and give back to my community"

My story: My name is Alaa Al-Khodary, a Master’s student in Data Science.

I began my studies during the war, facing displacement, lack of internet, electricity shortages, and many hardships. Despite these challenges, I managed to complete one semester with an excellent GPA.

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing difficult conditions and severe financial hardship, I had to pause my education. I could not afford tuition fees, books, or even stable internet and electricity to continue learning.

Yet my dream remains strong: to finish my Master’s degree in Data Science so I can serve my community and give back to my family who has always supported me.

With your help, I can register for the next semester, purchase the required books and resources, and gain access to internet and electricity through shared workspaces.

Your support—even the smallest contribution—can make a big difference in my journey. I will be forever grateful.
