Mission & Values

Kawaakibi Foundation's vision is to create a MENA region that is free, egalitarian, pluralistic, integrated, safe, and prosperous. Kawaakibi's approach is based on the belief that the MENA region has enormous untapped potential and that by mobilising civil society and engaging with the diaspora, the region can reclaim its rightful place and contribute positively to the global community. We seek to build a global movement for justice, peace, and equality that centres on the MENA but also reaches out to and cares about causes around the world. 

In pursuit of this mission, we conduct original research, bolster civil society, coordinate campaigns, and work towards healing and promote new models of activism.
