“The Alumni Association is a network of scholars, students and graduates, all of whom received academic scholarships through the MBI Al Jaber Foundation.”

Together, we believe that education has a major role to play in both the advancement of the Middle East and the MENA region… as well as being a driving force in breaking down barriers between the people of the Middle East and the wider world.

We believe that every life – regardless of nationality, background or gender – has equal value; and that everyone should have the freedom and opportunity to shape their own destiny through education.

Since graduating we have gone onto great success in the fields of science, engineering, law, business, finance, media, tourism – and of course – education. We have all been given the opportunity to go out into the world and make the most of our skills. We are now looking to give something back.

We believe that we can make a difference in how grassroots education works… and that we can help push for advances in gender equality, increased literacy rates and a higher standard of education across the Middle East.

As an ever-growing international network of graduates and scholars, we have the ability to forge meaningful bonds with like-minded people and organisations who share this vision and can help us achieve our goals.

We believe that through these long-term partnerships, we will enable more and more young people to be given the same chances and opportunities that we received in our own educations… and help bring the Middle East and the West closer together.
