Desert Bloom

The history of Desert Bloom goes back to around the end of the second millennium, when a group of vibrant youth launched a community empowerment initiative to improve graduates' life and professional skills. In 2002 the initiative expanded its activities to respond to the repercussions of 2001 world Trade Center tragedy to restore trust and confront the growing hatred and misunderstanding between Western and Arab worlds.
