Hiba's story in her own words:
"We ran out in our pajamas. No matter how hard I try to describe this feeling, you would not be able to imagine. I still relive it to this day. I will never forget it. We fled from our village to a relative in Damascus. From there, I fled with my children to Jordan. In Syria, there were bombs dropping everywhere. My husband kept telling me to just wait a little. He thought it would get better and we would be able to go back home. We had great hope, but the war kept getting worse and worse. I never imagined something like this could happen in Syria.
A friend told me about CARE and their programs. She said they might be able to help me develop my business. I thought it would be impossible to realize my dream in becoming a chef. But nothing is impossible. CARE has given me back hope. My ambitions keep growing every day. I am successfully providing for my family. I have become the best version of myself. I recommend all women who have a dream to go to CARE. If you are not successful with one thing, just try something else. The world needs it."
Filmed and edited by Jasmin Baulhassani/CARE Norway.
All footage was filmed in Amman in Jordan, except for the Syria B-roll which was found in CARE Images.
