On Friday 7th of June I had the pleasure to meet with Salma again. We had previously met at an event located at the Haagse Hogeschool (HHS Career Event: Doing Good & Doing Business) about two weeks prior.

What struck me about Salma is her contagious energetic and bright appearance. Originally from Egypt, speaking English fluently, she has an inner drive to make this world a better place for those around her.

Instead of giving people food, I want to teach them to grow their own food!

Graduated with a masters degree from IHE Delft Institute for Water Education on the topic of Water & Sustainable Development, it will not surprise you which SDGs she resonates most with:

Her biggest dream is to return to Egypt after gaining a decade of experience to give back to the community and environment. She aims to make a significant sustainable impact across the country. Since July 2020, she has been actively volunteering with the Habiba Community in Sinai, working on projects to improve local life standards and promote sustainability. This ongoing experience is part of her broader commitment to contributing to Egypt’s overall development.
