Maysun had to flee her home because of the Islamic State. Today, she runs a successful restaurant in Iraq
Being a single mother is not easy, especially in a country like Iraq. As the head of her family, Maysun has long struggled financially and has barely been able to support her loved ones. Her situation worsened when the self-declared Islamic State took over her town, and Maysun and her family had to leave for several years. Upon return, she found out that her house had been robbed. Caritas Czech Republic helped Maysun to have a fresh start and open her own restaurant.
