Hasoub is a non-profit organization that paves the way for the next generation of Arab technology entrepreneurs and works to create a more productive Arab society that thrives on innovation and entrepreneurship.

Since the outbreak of the current state of emergency, the Hasoub team has identified that university students are going through a severe crisis due to the closure of universities and academic institutions and the charged atmosphere in them, as well as in the workplace and in the public sphere. Because of the war, students’ education was affected by the emergency, as well as financially and mentally. All paths seemed blocked to them, and they felt unable to advance toward their goals and aspirations and, therefore, urgently needed a safe framework.

“We came up with this project as part of our corporate responsibility. We realized that the students needed us at those very moments. We thought about how to change the equation and turn students from victims of an emergency situation into entrepreneurs who find innovative ways to overcome it.

The students found in Hasoub a warm and safe home where they could express their opinions and share their ideas without fear, receive full support, develop, and advance personally and socially. The students saw the project as a lifeline. They felt supported and were able to share their feelings and ideas. The most important thing is that they worked together to develop entrepreneurial projects that solved some problems in Arab society during the emergency. The participation rate in the project was fantastic. This is the first time there has been almost 100% attendance at all meetings. The meeting with the lowest participation rate was, 52 out of 60, which attests to the need for the project and its importance.”
