Our Story
A chance encounter with a hiker changed Soumya’s life forever. At just 12 years old, she left her home in the Atlas Mountains to pursue education in the U.S., inspired by the potential for women to become doctors, entrepreneurs, or astronauts. In 2021, at 17, she founded Soumya's Journey Foundation to build a vocational school for girls in her village, aiming to empower women and girls in the Atlas Mountains.
