This traineeship is designed specifically for women like Sara, who recently arrived from Gaza. With a bachelor's degree in health and nutrition, she found herself in a completely new environment. "The journey before was really hard because we got out from Gaza – this was the hardest thing ever," Sara explained. However, her experience at The Beautiful Bunch has been a welcome change, offering her a chance to thrive.
