The Foundation That Never Collapses
Building an institution that never collapses… one that grows, benefits, and contributes to all stakeholders. Building leaders, systems, regulations, and governance. Building a community that is technically aware.
These are some of my daily words to the team — even when I’m not physically at the headquarters of the Libyan Technology Foundation.
And when I say “team,” I truly mean a team: each member working with focus and dedication on their specific mission, with passion and love for their work.
You are all gears — every one of you is performing a precise function that makes the next gear turn. Regardless of size, what the public sees is just three hands and twelve numbers on the clock face, while in reality, there are dozens of gears of different sizes and speeds behind it — all contributing to the accurate reading of time and certainty of the passing hours.
Every one of you — from administrative staff to technical specialists, engineers, operations officers, project managers, proposal writers, language reviewers, public relations staff, and the strong wings of legal advisors, accountants, and field experts — plays an essential role.
Praise be to God — it is truly divine success that I witness dozens of projects, initiatives, and individuals working not for personal gain, wealth, or authority, but for a cause. We may not have reached perfection — and that is not our ultimate goal — but we are moving forward with steady, confident, and accelerating steps toward many objectives, guided by clear strategies and wise counsel.
With pride, joy, and optimism, I tell you: we are doing a lot, and we will do much more. For example, we have launched a website designed to be one of the most informative and purpose-driven in Libya.
We support more than 88 companies, ministries, and public entities in various projects — most of them through national-level voluntary support.
We are developing sustainable operational models, and in the coming days, we will release a series of open-source administrative and financial policies and regulations — editable frameworks on how to manage an organization or company.
We also provide technical support to 32 civil society organizations and create an enabling environment for professional trainees — having graduated 10 of them in 2024 — and assisted 5 students with their graduation projects in IT and cybersecurity.
We closed our annual accounts with full inventory and auditing as of January 1, following strict governance systems, becoming a role model for local organizations in professional and accountable work.
The world sees us — and the local technology companies and institutions see our impact and momentum.
We are proud of our team, our supporters, and our cause. The journey is long, and the obstacles are many. Reform is not a luxury or a mere demand — it is a necessity.
This is a cause and a nation — in fact, it is a national cause: “Technological awareness for all.”
Every member of the team, dozens of them, believes in this cause. Even project proposals now come from within the team itself. I often set aside my leadership position to join the ranks of project managers, working side by side in field operations.
If some idle voices make noise on social media, broadcasting from nowhere — from the void or anonymous servers — the Libyan Technology Foundation, with all its team, strength, work, reputation, and network of supporters, broadcasts from the ground.
We are here. Our feet are firmly on the ground. Our goals reach the clouds, and our morale touches the sky.
I wanted these words to mark the beginning of a new phase — one of higher professional and institutional performance.
A special thanks to everyone — followers, supporters, friends, partners, and even opponents — especially the opponents, for without you, we wouldn’t have united this way.
