My baby, she is a ballet dancer. 
I take her today to the ballet. 
My name is Hiba Hamzi.
I am a Malala Fund Gulmakai Champion
and I’m a programme coordinator at Naba’a, a Lebanese organisation.
I believe that education is very important for girls.
I have a daughter, she is 4 years old. 
What are you eating, Haya?
Popcorn.
Are you happy?
Say good morning, Haya.
Good morning.
I’m keen to educate her 
because I believe that education can protect her from different kinds of abuse.
I believe that if she is well educated
she will enhance her self esteem,
she will be economically independent in the future
and she will grow up in a safe and protected environment.
I started with Naba'a as an administrator
and while working, I decided to continue my university.
We have different offices and programmes.
We have here our programme office.
Here’s the finance office.
Over the years working with Naba’a,
I joined different workshops related to how to empower women,
how to communicate with adolescent girls,
protection, child protection,
prevention of child marriage,
gender-based violence,
in addition to other administrative training.
Jointly with Malala Fund,
we are working and striving to achieve our two main goals:
all girls are continuing their secondary education
and all girls get married [only after] 18 years old
Our partnership with Malala Fund,
we’re very proud of it, as this is an advance for us to achieve our goals,
objectives and ambitions.
We are working in the south, north and all over Lebanon. 
We target the youth, the children,
adolescents and for sure, the adolescent girls.
It’s about awareness campaign.
'Thanwy’, it means secondary school,
for girls.
You don't have this secondary school here?
No, they don't have secondary school.
Education is very important for girls.
Education lets the girls have better choices in their lives.
