Founder's Message

In today's tumultuous world, particularly in the Middle East where the situation in Palestine is dire, violence and conflict are rampant. We witness daily reminders of this chaos through explosions and the displacement of countless people, creating immense challenges for the international community.

Despite hopes for positive change during the Arab Spring, political reforms have been insufficient, leaving many feeling frustrated and susceptible to extremist ideologies. The repercussions of this extremism are evident in ongoing conflicts in various countries, including Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Sudan, as well as conflicts further afield.

We recognize that military and security measures alone cannot solve these complex issues. It is imperative for all of us to engage across different fields to counter extremism effectively. In the face of these challenges, we gather to celebrate the successes of Arabs as a true renaissance - a revival of Arab achievements.

TAKREEM was founded with a vision to highlight Arab accomplishments, inspire youth, and showcase positive role models. Even amid setbacks, there are stories of triumph waiting to be shared and recognized.

TAKREEM's mission is to shed light on these successes, reminding people, especially the youth, that amidst adversity, there is hope, love, and life thriving beyond the headlines of war.
