Once recipients of food donations themselves, they embody the transformative power of giving back, demonstrating how gratitude and compassion can come full circle.

What makes their contribution even more significant is the personal connection they have to the cause. Having once benefited from the kindness of others, Rokhaya, Mohamed, and Naima now stand as shining examples of how acts of generosity can inspire individuals to pay it forward. Their story highlights the resilience, empathy, and determination of youth who turn their own experiences into a source of strength and service.

By engaging at such a young age, Rokhaya, Mohamed, and Naima have not only made a difference today but have also sown the seeds for a lifetime of community involvement.
