We are a nonprofit organization established in Beirut in 2016.

Inas Academic Awards Foundation (IAAF) is a nonprofit organization established in Beirut-Lebanon, in 2016 in accordance with the Lebanese Law of Associations under no. 13560.
The foundation stemmed from the founder Inas Al Jarmakani’s own experience with misfortune and the challenges of life in Nigeria - Africa, where she spent her childhood until the age of 16. By that time and with the constant support of her family, she chose to believe in her dreams through creating something that will motivate youth to Dare to Dream.
The Organization’s roots reside in its founder’s high regard for love of life and a better-educated world. We believe that through education and through empowerment come the courage to succeed.
