Jumana Abu-Hannoud – Emirates woman of the year

“I find my inspiration in the strength that people show during adversity – it makes me reach within myself for my own courage and determination.” – Jumana Abu-Hannoud.

Jumana, MD of SOS Children’s Villages International, Gulf Area Office, shows us how we each can make a difference to people’s lives, no matter how big or small our actions are.

Jumana recently received the Emirates Woman of the Year award, and Emirates Woman Award in the Humanitarian sector, in recognition for her dedication to humanitarian work. She was described on the night as providing a “philanthropic and moral example” to us all.
