Ruwwad Al-Tanmeya is a non-profit community development organization that works with disenfranchised communities through education, youth volunteerism and grassroots organizing.
Our approach encompasses an array of programs and initiatives that, together, strengthen agency and facilitate redress to problems prioritized by members of the community.
Ruwwad is a citizen-led model. It utilizes the community service hours of the scholars to create safe learning spaces for children and adolescents; mobilizes the families to launch grassroots campaigns that help engender social change; and advocates for access to rights-based services through various partnerships within the private sector, governmental agencies and the civil society. Supportive action and intervention is developed in collaboration with specialists, where applicable, but always in conversation with the community.
Ruwwad launches community led campaigns that adopt the "organizing methodology," which enables the campaign’s community to tap into its own resources through a strong structure of leadership teams. Ruwwad’s premise is that the people are the experts on the context and they have the insights needed to nudge change. Ruwwad launched its _rst campaign ‘6 Minutes Joy of Reading’ in 2011 and ‘Safe Homes’ campaign to put an end to physical violence against children at homes in 20122013-.
Ruwwad's programs--Child Development, Youth Organizing and Community Support--focus on using inquiry-based learning, psychosocial support and the creative arts as key methodologies.
