Amel Association Houston

Rana Younes | Action & Ex*****on
Turning vision into action

Rana highlighted what impact looks like beyond conversation, translating strategy into programs, partnerships, and measurable community outcomes.

Over the past three years, Amel Association USA has organized three successful free medical days serving underserved and refugee communities in Houston in partnership with renowned Arab American physicians and professionals. The latest medical campaign held in partnership with the National Arab-American Medical Association (NAAMA) and the Arab American Community Center (ACC), delivering critical healthcare access, financial and housing education and meaningful support to hundreds of families through an “New Comers to Houston city” guide.

The discussion also highlighted Amel’s growing focus on proactive emergency response and preparedness through its latest partnership with FORUS International, aimed at securing emergency aid and strengthening readiness efforts ahead of hurricane season to better support vulnerable communities during times of crisis.

Because meaningful change is not only discussed, it is built, implemented, and sustained.

Thank you for demonstrating what action, preparedness, and long-term community investment truly require.

Assaad Mohanna | Purpose & Vision

We didn’t come together for a moment — we came together for a purpose.

Under the leadership of Assaad Mohanna, President of Amel USA and founder of the Houston-based Leadership Coaching Program in partnership with HISD and Rice University, this gathering set the tone for what collective action can look like.

“This past week, our community stood in solidarity with Lebanon — not only to reflect, but to ask a critical question: what comes next?

The answer lies in unity, collaboration, and sustained effort.

Grateful to everyone who showed up, contributed, and continues to care.
This is only the beginning.”
