Alama is committed to accompanying students from conflict zones in Geneva. The association is currently working with two female students from Gaza who have recently been admitted to the University of Geneva. This includes seeking funding to help them cover their basic needs (housing, subsistence, insurance), logistical assistance with administrative formalities, and support to facilitate their social integration.
You can help us by making a donation specifying "studies". All the money raised will be used as financial aid for these students. Thank you very much in advance for your contribution of any amount!
