The Takreem Foundation celebrated its 15-year anniversary in Paris with an awards event that honored Arab achievements and raised funds for its mentorship program and a Lebanese non-profit organization, Afel. An auction featuring works by renowned artists like Lebanese painter Nabil Nahas and Syrian-American Simone Fattal allowed supporters worldwide to contribute to the foundation's mission.
Afel, established in 1976, has supported over 10,000 children and families in Lebanon by providing protection, education, care, and family support. The Takreem mentorship program connects young professionals with accomplished leaders, offering guidance and opportunities for professional and personal growth. This year's award winners included Patrick Chalhoub, Rodolphe Saade, Sheikha Paula Al Sabah, and Raja Sidawi.
Takreem founder Ricardo Karam emphasized the importance of empathy, solidarity, and building bridges across communities and generations amid global conflict and polarization. The event also brought together members of Takreem's international network, including former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and Saudi Council of Ministers adviser Fahd Al Rasheed.
Beyond the awards, the foundation has supported humanitarian causes, assisted artists in need, and connected established leaders with emerging talents.
