Summary: 25 Million Sparks takes readers inside the Za'atari refugee camp to follow the stories of three courageous Syrian women entrepreneurs: Yasmina, a wedding shop and salon owner creating moments of celebration; Malak, a young artist infusing color and beauty throughout the camp; and Asma, a social entrepreneur leading a storytelling initiative to enrich children's lives. Anchored by these three inspiring stories, as well as accompanying artwork and poetry by Malak and Asma, the narrative expands beyond Za'atari to explore the broader refugee entrepreneurship phenomenon in more than twenty camps and cities across the globe. What emerges is a tale of power, determination, and dignity – of igniting the brightest sparks of joy, even when the rest of the world sees only the darkness. A significant portion of the proceeds from this book are being contributed to support refugee entrepreneurs and general refugee causes in Za'atari and around the world. Captivating human-centered narrative storytelling following three Syrian women entrepreneurs living in a refugee camp An exploration of entrepreneurship and startups in the most extreme settings A fresh discussion of global policy, social justice, human rights, and economic development related to refugees, amid the largest global refugee crisis in history The first book of a young, award-winning author, entrepreneur, and attorney at Stanford and Harvard whose parents immigrated to the US from Egypt (https://www.cambridge.org/in/universitypress/subjects/management/entrepreneurship-and-innovation/25-million-sparks-untold-story-refugee-entrepreneurs?format=HB&isbn=9781009181495)
