Testimonials
"The paid internship I received through Article 26 helped me in a way that is hard to fully explain. It allowed me not only to support my own studies, but also to help my family.
“As a girl, being able to support myself also means something more. It made me feel more independent, more confident, and more hopeful. I have been able to use this support for my basic needs, for my health, and also to help my siblings and my family."
