Attiya grew up in Canada, but knew from a young age that she wanted to work internationally in the field of development. She is passionate about working with women and children in the areas of education and health. Her experiences abroad include working with children in an orphanage in Tanzania and in a community school in Costa Rica. Recently she started her own social enterprise that seeks to provide early childhood education to children in urban slums. Attiya hopes to inspire others to inform themselves about global issues, generate meaningful dialogue, and take action to make a difference – even from right here at home.
