My Skylight Story
I'm Haja, the founder of Four Wings Global Project and I'm originally from Sudan. I'm a political activist who previously worked with refugee communities in camps.
Four Wings is a cultural centre which supports refugees and asylum seekers with integration into host communities.
I borrowed £999 to cover upfront costs for my first event & to put towards a coffee machine for the community café.
I held my first community event in March and it was a big success, generating a profit with 91 tickets sold!
