Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Zion wants to change the world, and she has started with her community.
In 2018, Elizabeth and her family entered into emergency accommodation after they became homeless. They lived in a B&B for seven months. During this time, Elizabeth completed her junior certificate exams.
She is now in first year in UCD studying politics and social justice, and her family have a home in Lusk, Co Dublin.
While in the B&B, Elizabeth helped some of the younger children with their school work, and now during the pandemic she has continued to do so, as well as helping other children in her neighbourhood.
