Отсюда: когда сострадание становится действием | Мэриам Алкали | TEDxJimeta

В выступлении на TEDxJimeta Мэриам Алкали рассказывает о встрече в общинном медицинском учреждении с 13-летней девочкой. Из-за нехватки денег на средства гигиены она во время менструации использовала куски ткани и в итоге тяжело заболела инфекцией. Выступление описывает эту историю на фоне бедности и многолетней нестабильности, затрагивающих общины и девочек на северо-востоке Нигерии. Алкали говорит, что эта встреча стала началом жизненной миссии, которую она реализует через Фонд гуманитарной помощи имени Ахмада Алкали (AlkHAF).

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.
