Maryam - Youngest female inventor in her country
Donation protected
Greetings everyone, my name is Fatima and I am fundraising for Maryam.
When I went on a family visit in Iraq I met their neighbor, a beautiful young lady called Maryam, this bright and full of life young lady was fascinating as she was very well spoken, well-mannered and well ahead of her age as she was very smart and top of her school let alone her class.
Maryam is 15 years old and I found out that at 10 she invented a new board game that is quite unique and first of its kind. Her model was granted an industrial model certificate by The President of the Central Agency for Standardization and Quality Control in Iraq and was awarded an IP for this board game. according to the agency Maryam was considered to be the youngest Iraqi inventor since the founding of the Central Agency in the 1920s till present day.
Maryam was also awarded the creativity shield that was presented by the President of the Central Agency during the World Intellectual Property Day celebration.
Maryam dreams are also noble as she is well aware of the financial difficulties people are facing around the globe so she wanted to create a game that will generate prizes for players without spending any money, therefore this game can generate extra income for families, student or anybody who is need of extra income without spending a penny!
Unfortunately, Iraq is a state that has many challenges which are considered to be fundamental regarding the future of the country, therefore a young girl with creative ideas and the youngest inventor in her country is not considered with importance or prioritized.
Such a project needs funding in order to take this idea to the next level and her family income is very limited as her dad is a taxi driver and her mum is a housewife.
Me and my son want to try and help this young lady who is trying to break the old barriers and be an inspirational example for other young females in her country as women role in her society is very limited with no recognition for their abilities. My son helped her with her social media platforms, YouTube video and a website. he will also be the beneficiary and will transfer all the amount raised to Maryam Father. Now its my turn to try and fundraise for this young lady to take her dreams to the next level.
Every penny that will be donated will be sent to Maryam so she can create this project.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, lets help empower our young female inventors together.
