The Syrian civil war exacts a heavy toll on children
Since the start of the on-going conflict in 2011, more than 8 million children have been displaced and had their education disrupted.
Children with disabilities carry a double burden when it comes to violence, threats to their health and safety, and loss of education.
The Values of Be the Voice of My Story
Mitigating the Traumatic Effects of War
"Be the Voice of My Story" is driven by a profound commitment to alleviating the repercussions of war on refugee children. Our mission puts emphasis on cooperating with parents to get to know the children better. Thus, we are not only sharing stories but also empowering families to find solace and resilience amidst their adversity. We serve as a beacon of hope, offering these young souls the means to rewrite their narratives and emerge stronger from the shadows of conflict.
Accentuating the Linguistic Progress
We are committed to highlighting the language acquisition by including three world languages - English, Arabic, and French. We recognize the importance of preserving cultural identities, enabling children to connect with their heritage while fostering diversity. Our multilingual approach not only facilitates language proficiency but also celebrates the richness of these linguistic traditions, ensuring that each child's journey to healing and education is meaningful and inclusive.
Coping with Impairments
Inclusivity is at the heart of our mission. We are dedicated to helping all children, including those with visual impairments. We have gotten by their impairments through our accessible audio devices. By ensuring that our stories are not only written but also narrated, we foster a sense of belonging. In embracing diversity, we strive to demonstrate that every child, regardless of their abilities, deserves the opportunity to dream and find peace in the magic of storytelling.
Spreading the Word
It is our utmost duty to raise awareness about the plight of refugee children affected by the horrors of war. Our website serves as a dynamic platform to share our mission, stories, and the impact of our work, encouraging a global audience to engage with our cause. By leveraging the power of digital storytelling and social media, we aim to reach hearts and minds worldwide, fostering empathy, understanding, and support for the resilience and dreams of these young survivors.
Peer-to-peer Connection
At "Be the Voice of My Story," we actively engage teenagers in our mission to help refugee children. By involving young storytellers in the creative process, we promote empathy and understanding between teens and the young recipients of our stories. This interconnectedness not only amplifies the impact of our project but also nurtures a sense of global solidarity, demonstrating that the voices of teenagers can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
