Keeping Hope Alive

In this compelling memoir, Dr. Hawa Abdi, known as "the Mother Teresa of Somalia," recounts her extraordinary journey as the founder of a vast camp for 90,000 internally displaced people near war-torn Mogadishu. Since 1991, she has dedicated her life to providing critical support—healthcare, education, and hope—to those affected by violence and poverty, while also inspiring her daughters to become doctors. Facing immense challenges, including a harrowing kidnapping by insurgents, Dr. Abdi's story exemplifies remarkable bravery and resilience in the face of adversity.
