Help us raise the hopes for the future of the Arab World
Why support us:
The ADI is a non-profit, self-funded youth organization. All our achievements thus far and in the future are attributed to the tireless efforts of a large team of ambitious and dedicated volunteers.
We take pride in setting an example for professionalism and organization with very limited resources.
Our work is a source of inspiration for many youth who had lost hope in the Arab world, we are working to show that in combining our ideas and energies, we can make a difference in the Arab world.
Our work cannot be made possible without the generous contributions of our supporters. The funds accumulated will be channeled into financing our current and future projects.
The ADI serves it mission through various projects.
- Envision Arabia Summit: A youth Summit held regularly at different places around the world in which the participants will be brought together to identify very specific challenges in the development and progression of the Arab world and propose creative solutions to overcome them. Upon combining all the proposed solutions to the specific problems within the different sectors in the Arab society, the attendees will be putting down their vision for the future of the Arab world.
- Online ADI network: Using this network that includes bright and talented students, professionals, organizations and others, we allow for grass-root ideas to grow and materialize, through the provision of resources, advice and idea incubation. At the same time, we allow for institutional participation in development by linking youth to organizations providing opportunities for involvement in projects that develop the Arab world. Members of this network will use it as an opportunity to connect with one another and share ideas, thus allowing for a spillover of information from one community to another.
- Arab Development Competition: A competition that will encourage taking ownership of ones community. The Arab Development Competition will ask participants to submit a video proposal for a project that they wish to undertake that will develop a certain aspect of their community. This fosters the sense of innovation and entrepreneurship that is severely lacking within the Arab society. The ADI will help with the development of these ideas prior to the proposal submission, and then afterward the ADI will help in the realization of these projects. (Under construction)
- Arabpedia: Following the example of other online pedias, the Arabpedia will be an online site that will allow the free flow of information focused on the Arab world, in an interactive and engaging manner.Arabpedia will allow for information sharing in between residents in different Arab countries, in addition it will be used by local organizations and think tanks to present their findings in one location.
Thank you very much for your generous contribution.
