About The Orenda Tribe

ORENDA [oh-ren-duh] - (noun) A mystical force present in all people that empowers them to affect the world, or to effect change in their own lives.

The Orenda Tribe is a Jordanian lifestyle brand that was founded in 2016 by Zaid Souqi to empower youth across the world through art and story-telling.

After a life-changing experience in Johannesburg while serving with a foundation that cares for orphans and vulnerable children living in rural communities, Zaid quit his corporate career and started The Orenda Tribe in pursuit of a purposeful life.

Our vision is to create a world where youth are empowered to make positive change in their own communities.

Our mission is to raise awareness on social issues through art and story-telling and we are driven by three main values; Empowerment, Community and Sustainability.

Story-Telling

In light with what is taking place in the world today from environmental, political and socio-economical events we will be leaving our little ones with big responsibilities to attend to. This is why The Orenda Tribe started a series of children's books to raise awareness on different social issues in a fun manner through story-telling.

Inspired from these stories we design tshirts, products and apparel that our customers can wear and use while standing for different social causes.

Art

Art is a universal language that everyone speaks regardless of their backgrounds. Also, it is a tool that we use to engage youth in different topics and to develop different skills in them like communications, problem-solving, team-work and creativity.

We combine story-telling with tailored art workshops to engage youth in different social issues.

Social Impact

In line with our values, we are committed to empower youth living in marginalized communities through art and story-telling.

Under the Art For Hope initiative, The Orenda Tribe tailors, runs and funds purposeful art workshops for youth living in marginalized communities. For every t-shirt sold, The Orenda Tribe enrolls a child into one of these art workshops.
