Malva | Building Foundations Awards 2022

Malva said goodbye to her home in Kobane, Syria, fleeing conflict in 2011. She left behind treasured childhood memories and her education as she navigated treacherous terrain to safety aged only 10. Arriving in the UK as asylum seekers, Malva’s family made Walker, Newcastle, a home away from home. She started school without speaking or understanding English, but soon reignited her passion for learning and joined Newcastle United Foundation’s Premier League Kicks sessions, pursuing new challenges with new friends through football. Now a teenager, Malva continues her personal development with the Foundation, leaving her comfort zone to join its National Citizen Service programme. Malva now looks forward to volunteering with the Foundation and sharing her love for learning with others.
