From The Founder

“Welcome to Changing Lives, my vision for improved relations between the Arab world and the West. Genuine human connections are amazingly powerful and simple tools for increasing understanding and cooperation across continents and cultures. This program provides Western youth with direct experience of Arab culture, religions and conflicts which affect the life of people in this part of the world, which they may not otherwise get the chance to explore beyond limited news headlines. It also provides uplifting experiences and examples of possible futures outside of the daily routines of local youth. The capacity of these simple yet powerful encounters to provide paradigm shifts in both communities is often underestimated, and is the main aim of Changing Lives.” – Dr. Majid AlSadi

Dr. Majid Alsadi, CEO of Eastern Investment Holding Group and founder of Changing Lives attained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Coventry.

His experiences between the Arab world, the United Kingdom and other parts of the western world imbued him with a realistic and profound understanding of the misconceptions pervading relations between these cultures.

CL is Dr. AlSadi’s endeavor to break down these misconceptions. After proving to be one the University of Coventry’s most successful Alumni he decided to give back as a generous beneficiary of numerous projects including Changing Lives. Dr. Alsadi has also been involved in other humanitarian projects including The Majid AlSadi Scholarship Foundation and The Mineseeker Foundation.
