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.”
