Rise Fellow 2022

Wael is an aspiring scientist aiming to improve his community’s quality of life. His Rise project involved creating an amenity that provides pro bono marketing and graphic design services to small businesses and nonprofits. Before this, Wael helped establish several organizations in his home city of Bizerte, Tunisia, serving as founding member, organization director, staffing advisor and vice president at different points in time. His introduction to the nonprofit space was through volunteering, which he started at the age of 13 at his local orphanage, and continued until 2023 in the Royal Marsden Hospital in London where he was a Safety and Triage Volunteer through the COVID-19 pandemic.
