Exploring education, culture, women's empowerment, and communities around the world.
Knowledge also creates change.
At the Yaghoubi Foundation, we believe that creating lasting change goes beyond developing social projects. It also means preserving stories, sharing knowledge, and building bridges between cultures.
While our work is dedicated to education, the protection of women and children, and combating antisemitism, our identity is also deeply shaped by the family history that inspired the Foundation.
The heart of that story lies in Iran, the country where my grandmother was born. It was there that a journey of heritage, resilience, tradition, and new beginnings first began, ultimately inspiring the creation of the Yaghoubi Foundation. For this reason, many of the stories shared in this section reflect the rich cultural, historical, and human diversity of the Middle East, particularly the communities connected to that heritage.
Here you will find articles about social organizations, education, childhood, women's rights, Jewish culture, combating antisemitism, cities, institutions, artists, cultural initiatives, gastronomy, and places across the Middle East. Every topic is selected because it helps deepen the understanding of the values, cultures, and histories that inspire our mission.
Not every article represents a Foundation project. Some are intended to inform, others to inspire, and others to celebrate people, cultures, and initiatives that we believe deserve to be shared.
We believe that understanding a story is also a way of preserving a people, challenging prejudice, and building a more compassionate future.
