Ahmad Abdul AlAziz
Ahmad Abdul AlAziz, a Palestinian refugee from Souf Camp, began his journey like many young people—enrolling in university with hopes of earning a degree. Financial hardship forced him to leave after his first semester, leaving his future uncertain.
Determined to move forward, Ahmad joined a Vocational Training Centre (VTC) diploma program in culinary arts through an initiative with the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund. Believing in the power of practical skills, he committed himself fully to learning. By saving his transportation stipend and walking daily to the center, Ahmad turned small sacrifices into his first investment.
At the VTC, Ahmad combined technical baking skills with knowledge of quality control and basic business practices. With his savings, he reopened his family’s bakery in Souf Camp—closed for more than 15 years—bringing fresh bread and new life back to the community.
Today, Ahmad continues to grow his business and dreams of supplying bakeries across the Jerash governorate. His story shows how education, determination, and opportunity—made possible through the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund—can help transform setbacks into sustainable livelihoods.
