THE AYLA PROJECT

Success Story

EVACUATING LULU

Lulu, a three-year old little girl with a congenital heart condition, along with her mother and two siblings, were the Ayla Project’s first evacuees. Her oxygen level was at only 55% when crossing into Egypt earlier this year in a real-life, nearly impossible drama with a climax that could only be described as Hollywood movie-worthy.

/aɪˈla/

“Ayla” means “resilient” in Scottish, “light around the moon” in Turkish, “oak tree” in Hebrew, and “family” (Ayala) in Arabic.

OUR APPROACH
