Azim Khamisa provides the pathway from grief to purpose in sharing his story of losing his son Tariq, starting the foundation in Tariq’s name and most recently experiencing the passing of his mother, who was the emotional and spiritual foundation upon which he stood. By transforming grief and loss into acts of service, Azim shifted a negative into a positive and created purpose for himself and uplift for a community.

Tariq Khamisa Foundation

• Non-profit Organizations

• Founder & Chair

  • Sep 1995 - Present

  Providing violence prevention programs to children and youth in schools worldwide. WHAT IS TKF'S STORY? The Tariq Khamisa Foundation (TKF) was established in 1995 after Tariq Khamisa (a 20 year old college student) was killed by Tony Hicks (a 14 year old gang member). Tony became the first child in California under the age of 16 to be convicted as an adult. He was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. Believing there were “victims on both ends of the gun”, Tariq’s father Azim Khamisa reached out in forgiveness to Tony’s grandfather, Ples Felix to begin the process of healing; together they established TKF. WHY TKF? 16 young people are murdered on average each day in the United States, that’s more than 5,500 preventable deaths each year. Homicide is the second leading cause of death of young people between the ages of 10 and 24, only trailing unintentional accidents, that’s more lives lost than from cancer, HIV, heart disease and suicide. WHAT IS THE GOAL OF TKF? Our goal is to stop youth violence through our education, mentorship and community service programs. WHAT IS TKF DOING? We provide intensive one-on-one mentoring, small group skill building workshops, entire school awareness assemblies, classroom curriculum which is provided by TKF staff and volunteers for community services projects. Transforming Children's Lives TKF teaches children a peaceful approach to problem solving, reconciliation, conflict management, and relationship building that ensures safety and dignity for everyone. We partner with schools to offer the TKF Safe School Model that incorporates a continuum of proven effective programs. All TKF programs are based on our guiding principles: ♦Violence is real and hurts everyone ♦Actions have consequences ♦ Youth can make good and nonviolent choices ♦ Youth can work toward forgiveness as opposed to seeking revenge ♦Everyone deserves to be loved and treated well ♦ From conflict, love and unity are possible Show less
