Who is a Arab Hope Maker?

The Arab Hope Maker is the person, group or institution who, through their projects, seek to make a positive difference in their communities.

Any person who has humanitarian, volunteer or community-based projects or who works with a team or organisation within a philanthropic framework, anywhere in the Arab world, can apply to become the next Arab Hope Maker on the website www. ArabHopeMakers.com.

Several committees will be formed in order to evaluate and verify the applications. Meanwhile, the inspiring stories, documented in photos and videos, will be published on the initiative’s social networking sites, so that the stories can be widely shared for people to feel inspired.

Candidates will pass several qualifying rounds before making it to the final ceremony, to be held in Dubai.

The finalists will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including field visits to follow up on initiatives and documents.

Some of the judging criteria for finalists will include their seriousness and commitment, their reputation and credibility, and the impact of their initiatives.

The Arab Hope Makers initiative reflects His Highness Sheikh Mohammed’s mission to instil positivity and optimism in Arab communities; it is part of his vision to combat frustration with hope.
