Who We Are OMID Foundation is a group of four non-political, and non-religious legal entities (in Canada, Greece, UK, and US) which collaborate in order to strengthen the social, emotional, and economic competencies of disadvantaged young women, and provide them with a sense of self-worth and with the opportunities to experience a full range of life options through self-empowerment, education and training. OMID was founded by Marjaneh Halati, a London-based social psychologist and psychotherapist. The OMID concept is her brainchild, and it is her vision that has created its distinctive holistic approach to helping vulnerable and disadvantaged young women achieve self-awareness, self-determination and self-sufficiency in modern society. She works with all four OMID charities in order to bring new solutions to complex problems. She does this with uniqueness, effectiveness and originality. Born in Iran, Marjaneh moved to England when she was 12 years old. After finishing her undergraduate education in the US, she completed her MS Degree at the London School of Economics in Social Psychology where her work focused on domestic violence. She did her PhD work at the University of Cambridge, where her work focused on the institution of marriage in Iran. LEGAL STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT The four entities are legally independent of each other and each is governed by its own board of directors or trustees.
