Al Abdulla described the Youth Empowerment and Employement (YEED) project, a joint initiative between EAA and Mentor Arabia, as a model of how education can transform lives.
“By equipping youth in Qatar and Lebanon with critical skills and pathways to employment, we are not just changing individual lives; we are empowering a generation to create sustainable, thriving communities,” he said.
Ismail also stressed on the foundation’s commitment to sustainable solutions.
“Our work is centred on making a tangible impact on the lives of children and youth through strategic partnerships with governments, the private sector, international organisations, and academic institutions. Through our collaboration with Education Above All, we aim to empower young people and contribute to sustainable communities across Qatar, Lebanon, and the wider region,” she stated.
The press conference also provided an exclusive preview of the high-profile guests, auction items, and participating celebrities set to feature at the gala, generating excitement for the upcoming event.
Proceeds from the gala will support thousands of young people in Qatar and Lebanon through the Youth Empowerment and Employment for Development (YEED) project.
The initiative seeks to equip youth with essential skills and opportunities to secure meaningful employment, with a strong focus on education-to-employment pathways and the development of green skills.
