Hafida Ben Rejeb Latta

Hafida Ben Rejeb Latta

Hafida Ben Rejeb Latta was born in Kairouan in 1944. After graduating from l’Ecole Nationale d’Administration in Tunis she worked as secretary to the then Minister of Culture and Information and taught Arabic to Peace Corps volunteers. She went on to marry a British diplomat and left Tunisia to live and teach in Pakistan, Lebanon, Jordan, the UAE and many other countries from her English base. In Jordan she raised funds for the Mental Health Society and built and equip a Day Centre in the Bakaa Camp in 1986-7. She also raised funds and launched the establishment of the College of Occupational Therapy with General Union of Voluntary Society and the Al Hussein Society for the Physically Handicapped. In 1990 the College won the UNESCO regional Award for the best small project of the year. She has two sons: a British diplomat and an oil journalist. Hafida also completed a Master’s degree in education from London University. A well travelled life is described in her autobiography: A Daughter of Kairouan, published in English in 2017.
