More Information

Tatawwar provides young people access to a unique online and face-to-face development programme that focuses on skills for Innovation design thinking, financial literacy, critical thinking and entrepreneurship.

The programme encourages young people to think about the challenges, come up with ideas and transform these ideas into an effective project that can help preserve and look after the region.

Young people will have the opportunity to use the skills, and experience to develop an innovative solution to deal with the challenges we face with water, health and climate change. The young people will then submit their idea and a group of experts and judges will select 20 young people with the best ideas and give them support to develop these and turn them into Social Businesses that work.

The 20 young people with the best ideas will be invited to the final event and will also get to meet executives from HSBC and Potential, develop their business ideas, complete their plan and present them to the Tatawwar judges.

The top 3 winners will be awarded with crowdfunding opportunities to raise money from groups of people and help fund their business ideas. The winners will also be recognised on social media as our Tatawwar ambassadors.

Tatawwar – which means to develop in Arabic – is an exciting interactive programme from HSBC and Potential. The Tatawwar programme aims to inform and educate young people about water sustainability, the role they play in dealing with water challenges in their communities and at the same time, develop their business skills.

HSBC has been a long-time supporter of education projects and developing future skills. In today’s competitive environment, we know that employers are looking for a broad range of capabilities so we are extending our support to help people in the communities we serve – and our own employees – to develop the future skills they need to succeed in a business environment.

We are doing this by concentrating on two key areas:

Employability

Helping people in our communities to develop the skills they need to secure the jobs of tomorrow. Through our HSBC Partnership for Skills programme, we aim to support charitable partnerships that will enable one million people to develop employment-related skills through USD80 million in focused funding by 2020.

Financial capability

Increasing financial literacy and helping people to maximise their investments in education. We support educational initiatives that will help to increase financial capability in our local communities, including funding charitable partnerships that will help one million people through USD35 million in focused funding by 2020.

“Tatawwar has been developed to unleash curiosity and help our young people think “outside the box” by allowing them the freedom to create and innovate while giving back to the community they live in. We hope the skills foster a lifelong desire to continue learning and connect with others in pursuit of a larger purpose. It’s our responsibility and mission to create future generations that are keen and most importantly, able to effectively give back.”

-Sabrin Rahman, Head of Corporate Sustainability, MENAT
