Chapters Concept: Know Thy Heritage (KTH)

Know Thy Heritage Chapter operates in alignment with the same mandate, mission, vision, and goals as its parent organization, Know Thy Heritage, Inc (KTH). It upholds charitable, educational, leadership and nonprofit purposes as defined under section 501(c)(3) of U.S. law. This ensures that our objectives are firmly grounded in principles of philanthropy, learning, social good, and empowering individuals to make a meaningful impact in Palestine and across the diaspora.

Mission

The primary mission of KTH Chapters is to empower the Palestinian Diaspora by deepening their understanding and appreciation of their Palestinian identity, culture, history, and traditions. Through collaborative efforts and a shared commitment to the objectives of KTH, active members and esteemed alumni aim to forge a cohesive team dedicated to nurturing a resilient and thriving Palestinian community. Together, we aspire to build a stronger and more prosperous future for Palestinians worldwide.

Objectives

Despite the many challenges facing Palestinians today, KTH remains steadfast in its commitment to cultivating bold and capable leadership. Building upon our past successes, we wish to further engage the Palestinian diaspora across many states and countries. Harnessing the wealth of expertise within our communities, our Chapters aim to mobilize Palestinian alumni and other stakeholders in advocacy efforts aimed at fostering the establishment of Palestinian communities and advancing Palestinian development.

Drawing upon extensive professional backgrounds, including expertise in fields such as advocacy, finance, law, engineering, medicine, communications, and information technology, our diaspora members are uniquely positioned to contribute to this collective mission. Through collaborative efforts and strategic partnerships, we seek to leverage this rich talent pool to drive positive change and prosperity for Palestinians worldwide. Together, we endeavor to build a brighter future rooted in unity and resilience.
