GlamOnYou Forms Charity
Partnership with Breathing Numbers to Create the
“Amal Project” in Support of Syrian Refugees
GlamOnYou and commendable Human Act Group Breathing Numbers come together to
help change the lives of the many refugees in the Zaatari Camp, Jordan
Dubai based fashion house GlamOnYou has designed a beautiful
collection of playful t-shirts and intricate handmade dolls as part of the Amal
project, which endeavors to raise money in support of ‘Breathing
Numbers’. An initiative launched by Muna Harib in May 2013,
Breathing Numbers aims to give numbers a pulse by telling the individual story
of Syrian refugees in the Zaatari Camp.
GlamonYou dolls and t-shirts will be sold at different locations around Dubai
with all proceeds going towards supporting this incredible initiative;
furthermore the project ensures that for every doll purchased another will be
gifted to an underprivileged child refugee at the camp, an amazing incentive to
encourage everyone to fully show their support for this worthy cause.
Zartaari is
the second largest camp in the world with over 180,000 refugees, 40% being
children. The appalling conditions make life extremely difficult for the refugees who are lacking the
most basic needs such as water, food,
warmth and sanitation; the environment is unbearable for all, especially young
children who are deprived of the same every day necessities. The agonizing
reality is that the children of Zataari have to grow up incredibly quickly,
with no roof over their heads, no support and almost no hope of a future.
Since May
2013 the Breathing Numbers Initiative has managed to provide an amazing 250
caravans for accommodation in the camp, addressed hundreds of medical cases in
collaboration with many hospitals in Jordan and helped thousands of lives by
campaigning to attract donors from surrounding
countries and countries from all over the world to support the initiative
financially.
GlamOnYou
is extremely honored to work with such an initiative and is delighted to
cooperate in raising funds and awareness to help these underprivileged
children.
An Arabic word meaning Hope; the Amal
project aims to offer peace and hope to these hugely disadvantaged children
by providing them a safe haven away from the shocking hardships of their day to
day life. The project intends to raise AED 54,328/- which
will not only buy 4 caravans for the camp but also allow them to be covered in
joyful drawings and furnished to create a kids’ corner by filling them with
tables, books, colourful toys, pens and games. The caravans
will make an enormous difference to the children’s lives, providing them with a
place to be happy; a place to enjoy singing, drawing and friendships, an area
dedicated only for them, where they can still have a childhood. By offering
them somewhere where they can play, dream and be creative, we are giving them a
chance for a brighter future.
“Being a
mother myself, the Amal project is a cause which is very close to my heart;
it’s fundamental for children to be allowed to enjoy
growing up in an environment where they can learn, have fun and feel
happiness. I wanted to design the option of both dolls and t-shirts to give an
appeal for adults and children alike. The pieces are fashionable whilst also
being a fun and playful way to raise as much awareness as possible for this
amazing cause.” Says
Nadine Arton, Designer and Founder of GlamOnYou.
