MEET MOHAMED
Za'atari Refugee Camp - Jordan

Mohamed lives in Za'atari with his mother and father.  After fleeing their home in southern Syria, Mohamed spends most of his days training on the football pitch, hoping one day he'll play for Real Madrid.

More than 75% of Syrian refugees are women and children. Over half of the refugees inhabiting Za'atari Refugee Camp are children. These children live within a three-quarter-mile compound with limited access to basic necessities. For many in Za'atari, school and
​play is a distant memory.
