The Daughters For Life foundation was established by Palestinian doctor Izzeldin Abuelaish in memory of his three daughters, who were killed in a missile attack. The foundation aims to empower young women through education. It provides scholarships and collaborates with international partner institutions such as the University of Antwerp. Two students are currently enrolled at UAntwerp with a Daughters For Life scholarship.
