YOUTH empowerment platform Injaz Bahrain recently staged its 20th anniversary celebrations at Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain.
The event, held under the patronage of Injaz Bahrain chairperson Shaikha Hessa bint Khalifa Al Khalifa, brought together supporters from the kingdom and the region.
The celebrations highlighted the organisation’s achievements and recognised key partners and volunteers, as well as the official opening of its new headquarters in Umm Al Hassam.
The state-of-the-art facility is designed to enhance student learning and innovation, featuring a Youth Hub, STEM Labs, Arts Spaces and a modern auditorium.
The celebrations included an alumni leaders summit, attended by youth leaders from 11 Arab countries, focusing on knowledge sharing, innovation and regional collaboration.
Looking ahead, the organisation noted that it hopes to reach 300,000 students annually by 2028, building on its legacy. “Celebrating 20 years of impact is a proud and humbling moment for all of us,” Shaikha Hessa noted.
“We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited for what’s ahead. We extend our deepest gratitude to every volunteer, partner, educator and supporter who has walked alongside us on this journey.
“Your dedication has empowered more than a million young people with the skills, mindset and confidence to lead with purpose.
“Together, we will continue shaping the next generation of changemakers and building a brighter future for Bahrain.”
Injaz, part of Junior Achievement Worldwide, is a non-profit organisation that works to empower youth in the Middle East and North Africa through educational programmes in entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work readiness.
It partners with the public and private sectors to prepare young people for work and financial success.
