Message from the Founder

With an unshaken commitment to philanthropy, I reflect on a journey defined by resilience, purpose, and a deep belief in the transformative power of giving. From humble beginnings, growing up across Palestine, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan, I witnessed the profound strength of communities and the life-changing impact of persistence and generosity. These experiences shaped my conviction that giving back is not just a responsibility but a lifelong calling.

At Omar Abdulhadi Foundation, we are driven by the urgent need to make a difference. Education remains at the heart of our mission, especially for children and youth affected by conflict and adversity. Together, we work to nurture the dreams and provide them with the tools to build a brighter future. Over the past three decades, our work has reached thousands of lives, bringing hope and opportunity to those who need it most. As we look to the future, we remain committed to expanding our impact and empowering communities through continued effort and collaboration.

Thank you for sharing our vision to turn hope into action and create a legacy of lasting change.
