This project focuses on girls and women empowerment and has been in action since 2017. When Dr. Azzam began her Seven Summits Challenge in 2016, she wanted to share the dream of achieving this goal with other women and to share the understanding that any task was possible and no dream too big to attempt. In 2018 Dr. Azzam fulfilled the goal of summiting one of the world’s seven highest peaks, Mt. Kilimanjaro, as part of a girl’s empowerment project with three young women ages 13, 14 and 16 years old as a message that you can achieve whatever you put your mind and heart into.
