Jana Thouqan

Jana Thouqan, a ninth-grade student at Khalidiya School in Mafraq, was known for her intelligence and creativity, yet her shyness often kept her in the background. Struggling to express herself and connect with classmates, Jana’s confidence and participation in class were limited.

Through a school remedial club implemented in collaboration with the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund, Jana joined a supportive space focused on communication, teamwork, and self-confidence. With encouragement from her teachers and peers, she gradually began engaging in group discussions and taking on leadership roles.

A defining moment came when Jana spoke at the school’s morning assembly. Standing confidently before her peers, she delivered her speech with clarity and courage, marking a turning point in her journey.

Today, Jana participates actively in class, has built meaningful friendships, and has discovered a passion for public speaking. Her story reflects how the right support and safe learning environments, made possible through the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund, can help students unlock their potential and believe in their own voice.
