Project :

Samya is a DAO that supports women around the world from countries like Saudi Arabia ,Turkey , Malaysia , Egypt and even Canada by empowering them through education ,community and creativity. In the past we offered leadership training and coaching for girls in Arabic we also gave grants to purchase devices for distance learning to students . our goal is to empower these young women to take ownership of their lives and improve their lives to have a successful future.
