Honoring Excellence, one story at a time.
To come from the Arab world is to come from a place of constant change. It is to come from a place that is as rich and diverse as it is misunderstood.
In 2009, I founded TAKREEM with a crucial mission: to challenge stereotypes and champion values like peacebuilding, tolerance, dialogue, and empathy within the Arab community.
Recognizing the need to counter misconceptions and highlight Arab achievements, TAKREEM aimed to uplift Arab youth, promote entrepreneurship, and advance gender equity and human rights. This mission is more vital today than ever before, as we navigate a world in need of bridges, understanding, and collaboration.
Expanding its reach globally, TAKREEM AMERICA was established in 2019 and was launched in Miami on February 26, 2022, serving as a bridge for Arab Americans to connect with their heritage and contribute to a more inclusive and prosperous future. Although not a humanitarian foundation, we have focused in 2022, with support from our patrons in Miami, on aiding Lebanese students pursuing education in the USA. Donations helped cover tuition for some students, providing essential relief to families grappling with financial constraints imposed by the crisis. We are committed to perpetuating this elevating tradition of supporting a cause every year, further solidifying our dedication to making a meaningful impact.
TAKREEM AMERICA is meant to be a testament to the invaluable achievements of those who came to America with very little but were able to do so much. It is where we show the world what the Arab American community truly stands for. It is where we remind ourselves who we are, and find the strengths in one another, as a community, to become even more.
