Campaign idea: Alaa built his own pastry business
After fleeing Syria and training in Jordan, Alaa rebuilt his life in Oxford and established his own pastry business.
This story
Alaa fled Syria for Jordan, where he learned how to make sweets and pastries, before moving to the UK under a resettlement scheme. After his brother was killed in Syria in 2015, Alaa got help to bring his brother's wife and five children from a refugee camp in Lebanon to the UK. Alaa established a pastry business in Oxford, and his family is now settled and living in Reading.
