Karim Gharbi
On his philanthropic mission
Our Mission
Starting around 2020, Karim Gharbi launched a series of high-profile philanthropic initiatives focused on Tunisia's most vulnerable populations — particularly children and young people in underserved communities.
His commitment to education stems from his own journey: born and raised in the Ksar Saïd district on the outskirts of Tunis, Karim understands firsthand the challenges facing youth in neglected communities. At just 15 years old, he moved to Paris to pursue his dreams — a path that would eventually lead him back to Tunisia with a mission to create opportunities for others.
By 2020, local media began portraying Karim as a "good Samaritan" figure intent on helping neglected communities. His philanthropic work has earned praise from Tunisians who see him as a positive role model for youth — someone who rose from humble beginnings to achieve international success and now gives back to his homeland.
What We Do
Focused programs creating real impact for children and young people across Tunisia.
Karim funded the care of 14 orphaned children through the Nabeul-based charity La Voix de l'Enfant (The Voice of the Child). This ongoing sponsorship provides housing, education, healthcare, and emotional support for children who have lost their parents.
In the interior region of Kasserine — one of Tunisia's most underserved areas — Karim launched and financed the renovation of dilapidated public schools and high schools as part of his mission to improve education infrastructure for thousands of students.
Through his public platform and 4 million+ social media followers, Karim serves as a role model for Tunisian youth — demonstrating that success is possible regardless of background. His journey from Ksar Saïd to international recognition inspires young people to pursue their dreams.
Karim frequently visits regional towns across Tunisia, working alongside civil society groups on development projects. These hands-on initiatives focus on improving conditions in neglected communities and creating pathways for young people.
The Journey
Karim Gharbi was born and raised in Ksar Saïd, a district on the outskirts of Tunis. In 1995, at just 15 years old, he made the bold decision to move to Paris, France, where he began pursuing his dreams of a music career.
That journey would take him from signing with major labels like EMI France and Virgin Records Middle East, to collaborating with international stars including Snoop Dogg, DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, and even football legend Ronaldinho.
But success never made Karim forget where he came from. His philanthropic work is deeply personal — a commitment to ensure that children growing up in circumstances like his own have the support, education, and opportunities they need to thrive.

Featured Region
The Kasserine governorate in Tunisia's interior has long been one of the country's most underserved regions. High unemployment, limited infrastructure, and neglected public services have created significant challenges for families and children.
Karim chose to focus significant resources here, launching and financing the renovation of dilapidated public schools and high schools. These projects go beyond cosmetic improvements — they include structural repairs, new equipment, updated facilities, and resources that create better learning environments.
For students in Kasserine, these renovations represent more than buildings — they represent hope, dignity, and a commitment from someone who hasn't forgotten Tunisia's forgotten communities.
