A PRIVATE PHILANTHROPIC VENTURE

Who We Are

sTF5 Care is a private philanthropic venture dedicated to driving lasting, systemic change in disadvantaged communities across the Arab world, with a primary focus on Palestine and Jordan. Its work is centered around three core pillars: health, entrepreneurship education, and community needs.

The organization embraces a "Venture Philanthropy" approach, prioritizing long-term, sustainable change through evidence-based strategies and hands-on community engagement. Rather than focusing on the quantity of initiatives, sTF5 Care is committed to ensuring the quality and effectiveness of its interventions.

Vision

sTF5 Care envisions a resilient Arab region where MS healthcare, entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership education are deeply embedded in youth, empowering them to achieve economic independence and drive sustainable progress in their communities.

By addressing critical development gaps, we contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a focus on:

SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being – Expanding access to quality healthcare for MS Patients.
SDG 4: Quality Education – Advancing entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership education.
SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth – Fostering self-sufficiency and economic empowerment through finding and supporting talents and creatives.

Through strategic partnerships and evidence-based solutions, sTF5 Care creates lasting, scalable impact, enabling Arab youth to build thriving, self-sustaining communities in Palestine, Jordan, and beyond.

Mission

sTF5 Care collaborates with national and international organizations to deliver evidence-based MS healthcare and entrepreneurial innovative solutions - empowering individuals and strengthening communities. Through strategic partnerships and sustainable interventions, we drive broader community development, fostering long-term resilience and social impact.

At its core, sTF5 Care believes that true social impact requires:

Active community involvement, ensuring that solutions are locally relevant and sustainable.
A strategic understanding of market gaps, avoiding duplication and maximizing efficiency.
Strong partnerships, collaborating with like-minded organizations to amplify impact.
Alignment with public sector efforts, ensuring its philanthropic initiatives support national and international development goals.

Through this approach, sTF5 Care strives to create a lasting legacy of positive change, empowering communities and fostering sustainable development.

Due to our commitment to quality research and innovative programs we have endured a lasting impact on the wider community. We are proud to share testimonials from our beneficiaries and partners, highlighting the positive outcomes and lasting effects of our work.

Dr. Mohammad Abu Doush

Medical Director, Nemat Al-Tawfiq for Training and Rehabilitation, Jordan

Incredible support and generosity

“We would not be here today without the incredible support and generosity of the sTF5 Care – they have been with us on this journey right from the very beginning helping us to build a model that can provide comprehensive care and support for MS patients in Jordan. There is a real lack of dedicated organizations and resources to support this community and hence the creation of Nemat Al Tawfiq has been priceless in bringing life-changing support and services. We look forward to long-term collaboration with sTF5 Care to take these services to more MS patients in the region.”

Mohammed Malaichi Baddad

Mayor of Jaba’, West Bank, Palestine

Great Work!

The Water Well and Public Garden in Jaba’ are pioneering charitable projects implemented in the loving memory of the virtuous and righteous businessman, the late Tawfiq Fakhouri, Abu Shaker, may God have mercy on him and be kind to his soul. The projects provided a radical solution to the water scarcity problem in Jaba’ and its neighbouring villages, which will also contribute to improving the agricultural and irrigation sectors, reducing water costs, and exempting vulnerable households from paying fees. The project represents a historical achievement and an awaited dream for the residents of Jaba’ and its neighbouring areas, who felt blessed and grateful for this generosity. This outstanding achievement will remain a testament to the charitable work and ongoing charity that we are proud of. May God mercy the soul of the late Tawfiq Fakhouri, and may he reward him of the highest places in paradise.

Penny Townsend

Head of School, King’s Academy, Jordan

“STF5 Care’s support is helping King’s Academy create new educational opportunities for the next generation, not only at King’s, but those in Jordan and beyond, which will help them face the challenges they will encounter at university, in their careers, and in life. Those challenges require new mindsets, different skills and an entrepreneurial spirit.”

Ala Yousef

Third Year PHD student, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Alberta

I am deeply honored and grateful to have received the generous funding support from STF5care! Community service and advocacy in the healthcare system have been the driving forces behind my pursuit for a PhD degree. My research focuses on investigating the changes occurring in the aged heart, with the goal of targeting potential therapeutics to slow down the aging process in women's hearts. Aligned with STF5care's dedication to prioritizing community well-being, this scholarship provides both the means and encouragement for me to make a significant impact in healthcare.

Dr. Hani Akasheh

General Doctor and Researcher in Neuroscience, Motivational Speaker at Nemat Al-Tawfiq Events

Thank you Nemat Al-Tawfiq for supporting us through these gatherings. I am honored to be part of your family. It was truly a pleasure to cross paths with you all. Your words and insights inspire me to continue my education and learning in service of a community as beautiful and strong as yours.

Great Work!

Today I had a meeting with some Kings students who are participating in the entrepreneurship program (Tawfek Fakhouri Chair). They shared with me their startup ideas and we had an amazing discussion on these ideas and how to proceed and develop them further. I have been in tens of such meetings with young entrepreneurs and I can tell you the students I met with today were very smart, motivated, entrepreneurial and passionate about their ideas. I congratulate Kings for their entrepreneurship program.
