यहीं से: जब करुणा कर्म में बदलती है | Maryam Alkali | TEDxJimeta

TEDxJimeta में दी गई बातचीत में Maryam Alkali बताती हैं कि एक सामुदायिक स्वास्थ्य केंद्र में उनकी मुलाकात 13 वर्ष की एक लड़की से हुई। परिवार सैनिटरी उत्पाद खरीदने में असमर्थ था, इसलिए लड़की मासिक धर्म के दौरान कपड़े के टुकड़े इस्तेमाल करती थी और बाद में गंभीर संक्रमण से बीमार पड़ गई। यह बातचीत इस कहानी को उत्तर-पूर्वी नाइजीरिया में गरीबी और वर्षों की असुरक्षा के संदर्भ में रखती है, जो समुदायों और लड़कियों को प्रभावित करती है। Alkali बताती हैं कि इस मुलाकात से Ahmad Alkali Humanitarian Aid Foundation (AlkHAF) के माध्यम से चलने वाले एक आजीवन मिशन की शुरुआत हुई।

Imagine a 13-year-old girl who has to use pieces of cloth during her period because her family cannot afford sanitary products, eventually falling ill with a severe infection. How would you respond if she were sitting right in front of you? In this moving TEDxJimeta talk, Maryam Alkali shares how an encounter at a community healthcare facility—compounded by the broader challenges of poverty and years of insecurity affecting communities and the girl child in Northeast Nigeria—transformed into a lifelong mission. Through the Ahmad Alkali Humanitarian Aid Foundation (AlkHAF), she highlights how regional hardships should not limit our humanity, but rather inspire us to act. Discover why true compassion goes beyond feeling someone's pain and requires stepping up to become part of the solution.
