Hicham al-Zahabi has witnessed wars, America’s invasion of Iraq, and the rise of the Islamic State. He’s seen the effect these events had on local children. Hicham started working with street kids in 2003. He first took in four street boys to live with his family. From there, his concern has grown into the Iraqi Safe House for Creativity, where children can feel safe and find a hobby. Hicham has become a father figure for dozens of boys who have gone through his orphanage.
