CORE VALUES
Inclusivity:
​
Intersectionality pertains to the consideration of the various forms that an individual's identity can take, including gender, social status, immigration status, disability, racial and ethnic group. Rather than providing general frameworks to communities, we dissect the effects of intersectionality and how it plays out within a community to create a more adequate action plan. Our organization is very committed to preserving the values of inclusivity, equity, and diversity and aims to eradicate the underlying systemic obstacle of racist, classist, and discriminatory factors that we face in our world today.
Humanity:
​
The purpose of humanitarian action is to protect life, and we intend to uphold that to its highest regard. Wherever human suffering is found will be addressed with the necessary capabilities and tools we offer. With that, we ensure health and respect for all human beings we come across.
Neutrality, Impartiality & Independence:
​
As a humanitarian-driven non-profit organization, we abstain from engaging in ideological, political, religious, or racial controversies. We believe in the oneness of humanity and intend to embody that in all the work that we do. Thus, we are unbiased in any hostilities as compassion for humankind is at our utmost priority. We are an autonomous organization that does not identify with a political, economic, or ideological objective.
Transparency:
​
We believe in transparency as key in delivering quality humanitarian aid to ensure that essential resources are provided and used for the said intended purpose. In addition, we ensure that communication, contribution, and documentation is present between all parties involved to ensure reliable, effective efforts.
Shaikha Al Subaaey
​
"Everything starts and ends with humanity; it's through stripping away everything that divides us that we can come to the understanding that we can only rise through helping each other."
​
Born in Qatar, Shaikha has long been a child of this earth, calling home wherever her feet landed. By the age of 22, she had travelled the world, immersed herself in different cultures, connected with people with various backgrounds, ethnicities, and age groups. She considers herself a lover of humanity. Through her endeavors she fell in love with how humanitarian work fulfilled a person.
​
She obtained her undergraduate degree from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and is now pursuing her MSc at SOAS, University of London. She believes in education as an empowering tool of expansion, but admits that experience is what roots all that knowledge into reality. She further harnessed her skills in attending the Global Leadership Program at Oxford University. Alongside her educational endeavors, she is working at Al-Jazeera Media Network, where she taps into people's hearts across the world through film.
She believes in creating an organization that allows for case-specific frameworks to be implemented by creating spaces of development worldwide, her project in Zanzibar being the first of many. She advocates for the oneness of humanity wherever she goes and believes that we as a society can achieve anything through unity. Volunteer work is a two-way street, she says. The savior complex is a colonialist idea that still plagues our world today. Yet, as we support these communities, we learn so much from them. We develop our minds when we understand the people we work with through learning their teachings and ways of life.
