For young people growing up on the streets of the District of Columbia, life can be harsh and hopeless, with over 3,500 gang members and a violent crime committed every two hours. But the Honorary Dr. Warees Majeed, in partnership with The Way to Happiness Foundation, is guiding young people in the nation’s capital, transforming their lives with common sense moral values.
ABOUT WAREES MAJEED
Born in Washington, D.C., Warees Majeed grew up revering his father, a Black business owner who worked to better their neighborhood. Following his father’s untimely death, a teenage Warees gave in to the influence of street culture and its prevalent drug dealing and crime. After losing many friends to violence and serving time in jail himself, Warees committed his life to uplifting youth by providing them guidance to become responsible members of society. Championing the wisdom within The Way to Happiness, Warees’s work has impacted his community, contributing to a 7 percent drop in violent crime. For his tireless work in promoting the “cure for the streets,” his community conferred upon him the title of The Honorary Doctor Warees Majeed.
