As a children’s mentor, Aya helped direct a national
organisation for Tunisian children, improving to improve their lives and
protect their rights. She organised workshops and events for orphans,
handicapped and hospitalised kids, mainly suffering from cancer.

South Africa, among other countries. She is also a regular guest speaker at
settings such as the African Union and the United Nations.

In recognition of her achievements, Aya was named as one of Africa’s
most Outstanding Young Women Leaders in 2013.

Aya has travelled to over 20 African countries working with
young people and represented Africa internationally for the past four years.
She considers her life’s mission uniting North Africa with the rest of the
continent based on her pan-African vision, changing the narratives about
Tunisia, Africa and the Middle East and promoting youth agenda regionally and internationally.
