Helping refugees thrive, not just survive

A student of accountancy at Damascus University, Eid Aljazairli became in 2016 one of the millions of Syrians who had fled their country since civil war began there five years earlier. During his perilous journey from Damascus and then across the Mediterranean Sea, Eid, who could not swim, nearly drowned off the coast of Greece. Today, as a refugee in the United Kingdom, Eid is studying English and Mathematics at a local college in London, along with training to be a competitive swimmer. He plans to return home to Syria to finish the degree he started there.
