After facing many obstacles in finding a job and apartment, Obada decided to create a place that can offer jobs for people with skills and a willingness to work, but who face difficulties in finding a job. He says, “I realised that looking for a job or even just volunteering, for me and for everyone else in a similar situation is practically mission impossible. So, I decided to create an organisation that could help people to show their skills and that would later open jobs. I had the idea and a strong motivation to create We Exist. That is crucial for the start. There are some obstacles on the way – prejudice and discrimination make things difficult, but some great people who understood what we wanted to achieve, were of great support.” One of the biggest challenges was to find space, as many owners refused to rent to Syrians. But in the end, they managed to find their own place.
