Gifts In Kind Impact Report for World Vision Malawi

Salwan, a young man from Al Ba’aj, Ninewa, was left partially paralysed by a high fever at just eight months old. Raised with love and care by his father, Salwan faced severe bullying from peers and even teachers due to his disability. This led him to leave school early and struggle with self-worth. Displaced during the 2014 conflict, his family lived in camps before returning to a looted home. Despite hardships, Salwan gradually began to accept his condition and dream of a better future. In 2024, he joined World Vision Iraq’s Life Skills sessions through the Nexus Accelerator Fund Project. Initially shy, he found confidence and hope through discussions on bullying and self-development. Now 21, Salwan aspires to start his own business but is hindered by financial barriers. Still, he remains determined to rely on himself and live with dignity, inspired by his journey of growth, resilience, and newfound self-belief.
