Hi, my name is Mrika.
My name is Mrika Nikqi, I am a 16year old albanian girl from Peja, Republic of Kosova.
My goal is to climb the highest peaks of 7 continents before myl8th birthday, by which I will become the youngest female in the world to reach this challenge- Seven Summits.
My project outside of meeting my personal goal would empower Kosovar youth to pursue big goals and achieve them in healthy ways such as sports and culture, it would encourage women to aim for gender - equal achievements setting examples and, it would further put Kosovo on the map as a hiking and climbing destination and give kosovars the name they deserve in sports and global achievements.
