Tamkeen Community Foundation for Human Development

About

Tamkeen was co-founded after almost 2 years of introspection, co-reflection with a phenomenological perspective, and lived experience research of its founding members. The outcome of this process was the emergence of new questions that guided us to the co-creation, with our team members and partners, of the Tamkeen Approach. A new paradigm of existence (being and becoming), thought and action rooted in human potential trust opened its window of possibilities.

The word Tamkeen تمكين is often used to translate empowerment. However, this verbal noun does not bear in its root the meaning of ‘power' which de facto sets a dualistic dynamic (having vs not having power, giving vs taking power, gaining vs losing power). In "Tamkeen" we hear and cohere the semantically available words, hence workable and operatory, of Imkan (potential), Momkin (possible) and Imkania (possibility).

The Tamkeen approach allows the expression of the human potential, that potential being our humanity, which defines us and connects us to the whole beyond our conscious grasp. When expressed it transcends us. From and with the potential essence, all future possibilities can be co-created, manifesting in flourishing human beings, communities, societies and thriving life as a whole.

We "could have" called the evolution of the Tamkeen Process "orchestrated serendipity", the orchestration's nature being our trust in human potential. Its shape being the strength of our intent (nia), our love (hob) and our patience (sabr). These are the oligo-elements of the soil in which trust was able to grow: trust in human potential. We say "could have" as we now know that what can seem at times, to us and to our partners, as being of an extraordinary coincidence or even magical, to the point of rendering us speechless,is in fact emergence with its subtle interplay with dissolvence: the wondrous complex workings of life where things mutually arise.
