Why I Joined
“I was drawn to Daadras because of its powerful mission to empower underprivileged youth, particularly orphans, through the Salam Project, which focuses on developing skills in Information Technology, Chess, and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). During a personally challenging time in my life, discovering Daadras provided me with an opportunity to channel my energy into a cause rooted in hope, growth, and long-term empowerment. The organization’s commitment to making a real difference resonated with me, inspiring me to contribute his skills to the initiative.”
Role in the Organization
At Daadras, I serves as the Head of Strategic Gaming. In this role, I designs and leads programs that use chess and other strategic games to strengthen critical thinking, decision-making, emotional regulation, and resilience among orphans enrolled in the Salam Project. My work is focused on ensuring that strategic play becomes a tool for real-world empowerment, providing children with essential life skills that extend far beyond the game itself.
