Y.G: Finding Family, Strength, and Myself Y.G (16 years old) joined Banati Foundation at a very young age. Initially, she faced a significant legal hurdle regarding a mistake in her birth certificate that prevented her from being recognized as her sister's sibling. Through the persistent efforts of her case manager, the legal papers were corrected, officially recognizing them as sisters—a moment that made her feel her family was finally complete. Educationally, Y.G is currently in her first year of commercial secondary school and attends regularly. She has benefited from various internal and external trainings that taught her independence and the value of financial planning. Beyond academics, she discovered her artistic talents in pottery and crochet, which have given her a sense of pride and creativity. Supported by regular psychological sessions, Y.G has learned to express her feelings and improve her social behavior. For her, the foundation is not just a shelter; it is her whole life where she grows and rediscovers herself every day.

B.S: A Journey of Courage and Hope B.S (18 years old) faced immense challenges from a very young age, having lost both parents and lived on the streets with her mother. After a period of transition, her journey finally led her to Banati Foundation. Upon arrival, she lacked identity documents and had never attended school, feeling completely invisible. The Case Management Department worked tirelessly to reconnect her with her grandparents and, crucially, helped her obtain her national ID card—a document that represents recognition and existence for her. Educationally, she progressed from foundational literacy classes to becoming a first-year preparatory student at El-Qada school. She also discovered her potential through sports and arts, joining the "Distinguished Team" in fitness and participating in yoga, contemporary dance, and acting workshops. Today, B.S is no longer a girl without a name or a place; she has learned to set boundaries, protect her privacy, and dream boldly about her future.

M.M is one of Banati’s girls who began a transformative journey two years ago. After her parents' divorce, she lived in complete isolation and was unable to attend school. The foundation provided her with full educational integration; she started with literacy classes and is now enrolled in primary six at El-Qada community school. Through psychological support, M.M overcame her fear of strangers and developed strong social and communication skills. An intervention plan by the case manager succeeded in reconnecting her with her father after years of silence, and they are now in regular contact. She discovered a passion for sports, becoming a member of the "Distinguished Team" in fitness, and currently assists the coach during Yoga sessions. M.M dreams of becoming a professional Yoga trainer.
