Voice for Success
en.v, a leading Kuwait-based organization dedicated to social responsibility in the Arab world, and The Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) today announced a one-year program to promote social activism in Kuwait entitled "Voice for Success".
The program seeks to strengthen civil society in Kuwait through the promotion of innovative initiatives by Kuwaiti youth in the fields of social responsibility, empowerment, and development amongst others.
Over a 12-month period, en.v will identify a total of 36 committed youth and document their initiatives through a series of short films, photographic reports and articles. en.v will then publish this content on its online news portal and promote it to the general public. en.v will also embark on a tour of schools and universities around Kuwait with the aim of educating students about key social issues and inspiring them to proactively address them.
"The U.S. State Department's Middle East Partnership Initiative's (MEPI) mission is to create vibrant partnerships between America and the citizens of the Middle East and North Africa to empower them to build more pluralistic, participatory, and prosperous societies throughout the region. en.v's project, Voice for Success, is an excellent example of how a MEPI grantee can use digital media to increase the civic participation of Kuwaiti youth" says Deborah Hart-Serafini, the Coordinator for MEPI in Kuwait.
In addition to participants (and their respective efforts) being promoted through an educational roadshow, social media platforms, and select media channels, they will automatically be entered into an online competition. Voted for by the public, the three candidates with the highest number of votes will receive prizes upon completion of the program.
"Voice For Success is truly a one of a kind initiative which aims to involve the young minds in Kuwait to participate in making a positive difference." said Zahed Sultan, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer, The en.v Initiative. "Through the introduction of this program, MEPI has paved the way for members of society to share their individual initiatives and ideas, thereby contributing to exploring more opportunities and open more doors for social responsibility programs."
The Voice for Success program aspires to create a platform for Kuwait's young role models to promote their causes and share their know-how with fellow citizens at a national level. The program will ignite dialogue amongst the most promising advocates for social progress and give them a boost to reach even greater numbers of people - becoming a source of inspiration for all.
