Meliha Avdic

Born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Meliha became a war-child at the age of 12, and a refugee in the UK six months later. She completed her degree in Economics at Kingston University, and went on to complete an MSc in Voluntary Action Management at Roehampton University, Surrey.

She works as a humanitarian, an activist, and a lobbyist, yet her passion for books is unyielding. In fact, she has combined her day-job with her writing to bring us stories of the amazing people she has met, and to combine her two great passions: Books and People. While many believe that the idea of a better world is great but out of our reach, Meliha believes that we all have a part to play, and that it is our duty to do what ‘little’ we can.

After all: Castles are built brick by brick! And the world can change when a large number of people, big and small, decide to change.
