Hi my name is Amna, I’m the Associate Director of Strategy for Community Jameel.

This is my third year with Community Jameel.  It’s been a whirlwind of three years. Really exciting time for us as an organization and and exciting chapter of the next 75 years.

Community Jameel is an organization that strives to innovate for a better future; what that means for us is that we develop programs with different partners around the world that looks at creating the environments with which scientific and technological breakthroughs can achieve can be achieved through research data and  technology, in the areas of climate health and education.  And then we take those breakthroughs and we try to bridge and distribute the benefits of those breakthroughs to the people who need them the most.  My role is to help co-develop programs with our partners such as MIT and Imperial College London and local partners as well from the region to develop programs that are designed for impact and also based on real needs and the local needs on the ground. it’s such an exciting organization to be part of.  It’s such an exciting family to be part of.  The vision of the Jameel Family and trying to help them achieve that vision, thinking about strategic ways in which we can do better, have more impact with much less, kind of investments.  In my three years here I’ve felt I’ve had a lot of conversations and I’ve worked really closely with the family and I really felt a part of that extended family and almost, in a way, I feel like the Jameel Family’s vision is my vision, towards making the world a better place  and innovating for a better future.

I’d like to congratulate the Jameel Family for the 75 year anniversary and really excited to be part of the next 75 years and see what the future holds for us.
