Habitat Homeowner Marwa arrived in the United States at age 13 with her family, stepping into a completely new world. As a refugee with Eritrean and Sudanese roots, her early years in the U.S. were shaped by transition, resilience and her family’s determination to build a stable foundation.
They resettled in Greensboro, where she spent her teenage years and later attended UNC Greensboro. After graduating in 2022, she was ready to begin a new chapter. She found a job in Raleigh but could not afford to purchase a home in the area.
