Lama Ashraf Diriyeh
Palestine
A sophomore at the American School of Palestine, Lama is passionate about improving education in her community, seeing it as a tool of empowerment. Palestinians have been suffering from limited access to resources and electricity due to conflict in the region, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. To help her people, for her Rise project Lama created an app that will help students with weak internet connection participate in online learning.
