Mission and Objectives

Goals & Objectives Voluntary works and community service. Capacity building. Local and global interfaith work. Intercultural exchanges. Networking. Social and recreational activities.

Main Projects / Activities

Or message: We are looking to build bridges of love and mutual understanding between all nations, we want to reach out to each other, we want to be friends, it would be a greater freedom to stop hiding behind our arms and bravely stretch out a hand and offer an open heart. We should raise above all differences and see our spiritual oneness, we should learn to love each other and to appreciate the nice things that people do, if we keep talking about the good things, we will forget all the superficial differences that divided us. If we go a little deeper, where is the black and where is the white? Where is the Muslim, Jew or Christian? The spirit has no white or black, Muslim, Christian or Jew? This is the real spiritual life: talking in terms of spirit, love in terms of spirit, this is the real union of communication; we cannot communicate with GOD with out having communication with our fellow beings. We believe that we can't change the whole world, but we are ambitious to make a little difference in people's lives , we love , encourage, support, and hope for them, we must be the living example of God’s kindness by our smile and warm greetings.

General Information
Ruwwad Al-Tanmeya is a non-pro_t community development organization that works with disenfranchised communities through education, youth volunteerism and grassroots organizing. Our approach encompasses an array of programs and initiatives that, together, strengthen agency and facilitate redress to problems prioritized by members of the community. Ruwwad is the brainchild of Fadi Ghandour, serial entrepreneur and founder of Aramex International, one of the world’s leading logistics companies. A strong advocate of a more public-spirited and decisive presence for the Arab private sector in the sustainable development of the region, in 2005, Fadi mobilized Aramex and brought together a group of likeminded businessmen with the singular aim of deploying entrepreneurship - talent, resources and skills - in the service of community and to help tackle, however modestly, the inequities that pervade the Arab world. By sheer virtue of its aspirations, Ruwwad embraces pluralism and insists on respect for diversity. Our team’s working framework is activist and participatory, in method and as a matter of principle. Ruwwad’s, in fact, is a continuous conversation with the communities’ various constituencies, as much to invite freewheeling expression and critical thinking as it is to disrupt the status quo and its entrenched interests.
Mission and Objectives

Ruwwad Al-Tanmeya is a non-profit community development organization that works with disenfranchised communities through education, youth volunteerism and grassroots organizing.
Our approach encompasses an array of programs and initiatives that, together, strengthen agency and facilitate redress to problems prioritized by members of the community.

Main Projects / Activities

Ruwwad is a citizen-led model. It utilizes the community service hours of the scholars to create safe learning spaces for children and adolescents; mobilizes the families to launch grassroots campaigns that help engender social change; and advocates for access to rights-based services through various partnerships within the private sector, governmental agencies and the civil society. Supportive action and intervention is developed in collaboration with specialists, where applicable, but always in conversation with the community.
Ruwwad launches community led campaigns that adopt the "organizing methodology," which enables the campaign’s community to tap into its own resources through a strong structure of leadership teams. Ruwwad’s premise is that the people are the experts on the context and they have the insights needed to nudge change. Ruwwad launched its _rst campaign ‘6 Minutes Joy of Reading’ in 2011 and ‘Safe Homes’ campaign to put an end to physical violence against children at homes in 20122013-.
Ruwwad's programs--Child Development, Youth Organizing and Community Support--focus on using inquiry-based learning, psychosocial support and the creative arts as key methodologies.
