The former US Marine who left the front line to fight world poverty


  • English
  • Arabic

Former special forces Marine Jake Harriman dared to dream of a better world after being haunted by the horrors of war.

The military veteran's life was changed for ever when he witnessed a man and his family being killed during one of his two tours of Iraq.

He vowed at that terrible moment that he never wanted to see such human suffering again, and instead embarked on a mission to deliver hope where it was needed most.

“For a long time, every time I closed my eyes, I saw that man's eyes,” Mr Harriman told The National.

“And I still remember his face. That was when I made a commitment to God that I never wanted to look at another human being's face and see that look again.

“I wanted to be able to do something about it so that those individuals don't have that desperate look.”

Helping farmers reap the rewards

Mr Harriman, who served more than seven years as a platoon commander, decided to swap the battlefield for the business world to lead a crucial fight against extreme poverty.

He enrolled at Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2006 and a year later founded Nuru International, a non-profit organisation that seeks to empower farmers in developing countries and give them the skills and knowledge to help their communities grow.

To date Nuru has supported more than 250,000 people in Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Burkina Faso in this endeavour.

Nuru's interventions have helped many farmers to generate a 117 per cent increase in crop yields, and a 241 per cent increase in income.

The organisation's efforts have been recognised with a nomination in the food category of the 2023 Zayed Sustainability Prize. Nuru was previously nominated in 2019.

Mr Harriman's goal is to put himself out of business, by tackling inequality and poverty to such a degree that organisations like his are no longer needed.

Empowering communities

Are we ending extreme poverty around the world, he asked.

“No we're not, we're a very small part, but I think we're adding value in unique places.

“So I think we're able to operate in highly unstable, fragile places where most other NGOs or humanitarian organisations are not able to reach or operate.

“We are able to empower these local communities with lasting, meaningful choices in some of the most difficult places in the world. So yes, I do think we are adding a real unique niche value to the larger problem of solving extreme poverty globally.”

The ex-serviceman says the world is broken, but is determined to play his part in trying to fix it.

“There are horrible things that happen. You have colleagues dying, and we've had farmers die of hunger because we just couldn't get there fast enough.”

Fixing a broken world

“We had women who we had been working with die of horrible domestic violence, because we weren't able to reach the villages quickly enough. There are lots of things that happen along the way that are awful.

“This world is a broken world, but we can't give up. Every time something like that happens where you want to despair, you have to use it to drive you to push harder and push further because maybe if you can just take one more step, you can reach more people.”

Nuru's work is built on the belief that helping people to help themselves, by equipping them with the tools to improve their circumstances, is the key to a better future.

“It has really been a quite extraordinary experience ― a humbling experience ― I've learnt a lot along the way, as a leader, and I can tell you that all of our success and Nuru is really in spite of all my weaknesses, and my flaws and the mistakes that I made,” Mr Harriman said.

“I have an amazing team and my team is far smarter and stronger and better than I am. Today, they're all over the world.

“They are Kenyans ― they are Nigerians, they are Ethiopians and they are Americans. More importantly, they're a fantastic group of people who have impacted more than 250,000 people at this point.

“The biggest achievement that I personally am most proud of is that Nuru International is all about unlocking the potential of local leaders.

“It is all about locally led solutions. We have been really proud about our ability to go in and act as a kind of scaffolding in a project to be able to create a locally led organisation to address a lot of the extreme poverty conditions in highly fragile regions.”

Mr Harriman said Nuru is helping to sow seeds of success that can “thrive long after we're gone”.

“I always used to say that if Nuru is still operational in 2030, we failed our mission,” he said.

More than 4,500 applications from 152 countries were received across the Zayed Sustainability Prize's five categories of health, food, energy, water and global high schools.

The winners, who will receive $600,000 to support their sustainability efforts, will be named at a ceremony on January 16 as part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.

Sinopharm vaccine explained

The Sinopharm vaccine was created using techniques that have been around for decades. 

“This is an inactivated vaccine. Simply what it means is that the virus is taken, cultured and inactivated," said Dr Nawal Al Kaabi, chair of the UAE's National Covid-19 Clinical Management Committee.

"What is left is a skeleton of the virus so it looks like a virus, but it is not live."

This is then injected into the body.

"The body will recognise it and form antibodies but because it is inactive, we will need more than one dose. The body will not develop immunity with one dose," she said.

"You have to be exposed more than one time to what we call the antigen."

The vaccine should offer protection for at least months, but no one knows how long beyond that.

Dr Al Kaabi said early vaccine volunteers in China were given shots last spring and still have antibodies today.

“Since it is inactivated, it will not last forever," she said.

Notable salonnières of the Middle East through history

Al Khasan (Okaz, Saudi Arabia)

Tamadir bint Amr Al Harith, known simply as Al Khasan, was a poet from Najd famed for elegies, earning great renown for the eulogy of her brothers Mu’awiyah and Sakhr, both killed in tribal wars. Although not a salonnière, this prestigious 7th century poet fostered a culture of literary criticism and could be found standing in the souq of Okaz and reciting her poetry, publicly pronouncing her views and inviting others to join in the debate on scholarship. She later converted to Islam.

 

Maryana Marrash (Aleppo)

A poet and writer, Marrash helped revive the tradition of the salon and was an active part of the Nadha movement, or Arab Renaissance. Born to an established family in Aleppo in Ottoman Syria in 1848, Marrash was educated at missionary schools in Aleppo and Beirut at a time when many women did not receive an education. After touring Europe, she began to host salons where writers played chess and cards, competed in the art of poetry, and discussed literature and politics. An accomplished singer and canon player, music and dancing were a part of these evenings.

 

Princess Nazil Fadil (Cairo)

Princess Nazil Fadil gathered religious, literary and political elite together at her Cairo palace, although she stopped short of inviting women. The princess, a niece of Khedive Ismail, believed that Egypt’s situation could only be solved through education and she donated her own property to help fund the first modern Egyptian University in Cairo.

 

Mayy Ziyadah (Cairo)

Ziyadah was the first to entertain both men and women at her Cairo salon, founded in 1913. The writer, poet, public speaker and critic, her writing explored language, religious identity, language, nationalism and hierarchy. Born in Nazareth, Palestine, to a Lebanese father and Palestinian mother, her salon was open to different social classes and earned comparisons with souq of where Al Khansa herself once recited.

What is Folia?

Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal's new plant-based menu will launch at Four Seasons hotels in Dubai this November. A desire to cater to people looking for clean, healthy meals beyond green salad is what inspired Prince Khaled and American celebrity chef Matthew Kenney to create Folia. The word means "from the leaves" in Latin, and the exclusive menu offers fine plant-based cuisine across Four Seasons properties in Los Angeles, Bahrain and, soon, Dubai.

Kenney specialises in vegan cuisine and is the founder of Plant Food Wine and 20 other restaurants worldwide. "I’ve always appreciated Matthew’s work," says the Saudi royal. "He has a singular culinary talent and his approach to plant-based dining is prescient and unrivalled. I was a fan of his long before we established our professional relationship."

Folia first launched at The Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills in July 2018. It is available at the poolside Cabana Restaurant and for in-room dining across the property, as well as in its private event space. The food is vibrant and colourful, full of fresh dishes such as the hearts of palm ceviche with California fruit, vegetables and edible flowers; green hearb tacos filled with roasted squash and king oyster barbacoa; and a savoury coconut cream pie with macadamia crust.

In March 2019, the Folia menu reached Gulf shores, as it was introduced at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, where it is served at the Bay View Lounge. Next, on Tuesday, November 1 – also known as World Vegan Day – it will come to the UAE, to the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach and the Four Seasons DIFC, both properties Prince Khaled has spent "considerable time at and love". 

There are also plans to take Folia to several more locations throughout the Middle East and Europe.

While health-conscious diners will be attracted to the concept, Prince Khaled is careful to stress Folia is "not meant for a specific subset of customers. It is meant for everyone who wants a culinary experience without the negative impact that eating out so often comes with."

Sun jukebox

Rufus Thomas, Bear Cat (The Answer to Hound Dog) (1953)

This rip-off of Leiber/Stoller’s early rock stomper brought a lawsuit against Phillips and necessitated Presley’s premature sale to RCA.

Elvis Presley, Mystery Train (1955)

The B-side of Presley’s final single for Sun bops with a drummer-less groove.

Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Two, Folsom Prison Blues (1955)

Originally recorded for Sun, Cash’s signature tune was performed for inmates of the titular prison 13 years later.

Carl Perkins, Blue Suede Shoes (1956)

Within a month of Sun’s February release Elvis had his version out on RCA.

Roy Orbison, Ooby Dooby (1956)

An essential piece of irreverent juvenilia from Orbison.

Jerry Lee Lewis, Great Balls of Fire (1957)

Lee’s trademark anthem is one of the era’s best-remembered – and best-selling – songs.
