The Daughters for Life Foundation was established in memory of
Bessan, Mayar, and Aya, and their love of life and learning as well as
their hopes and dreams for a better educated world. The Foundation
believes that lasting peace in the Middle East depends on the
empowerment of girls and young women through education, which will allow
them to become agents of change for the betterment of life throughout
the Middle East. To that end, they provide scholarships and awards for
aspiring young women in order to enable them to pursue studies that
would otherwise be inaccessible to them. Awards are offered to students
in Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria, as well as
scholarships at the graduate and undergraduate level to study in Canada,
the United States, and the United Kingdom.
They support young women of any Middle Eastern nationality,
regardless of their religious affiliation, ethnicity or background. The
recipients are chosen not only for their academic prowess, which has
often been challenged in the face of socio-economic adversity and
hardship, but also for their character and commitment to the improvement
of lives for girls and young women in the Middle East. Their goal is to
invest in their potential for leadership and foster their success in
whichever fields they choose to specialize in.
