About Zikra
The Zikra Initiative diminishes the socio-economic gap by conducting programs where
urban and marginalized community residents may engage, interact, and exchange resources.
This exchange model denotes an ‘equal relationship;’ eliminating the ‘give and take’
dynamic, and replacing it with a basic exchange.
After its launch in March 2007, The Zikra Initiative dubbed the term, Exchange Tourism,
where city residents may provide money or workshops for the local community in exchange
for a trip where the marginalized community may teach them new skills from their
traditions and lifestyle. Zikra also holds a Development Through Arts and Culture
program where collaboration between city and local residents stimulates the local
community’s skills and creativity to widen their career opportunities. Other programs
include, the Eco-Program and the Health and Lifestyle Program. The Eco-Program encourages
environmental awareness, as well as allows the community to discover the value and
economic potential of the resources they have around them. The Health and Lifestyle
Program widens the community’s knowledge on mental and physical health issues to
ensure a healthy physical and psychological lifestyle.
