Belkacem Hamitouche founded AlgeriaRise after years of watching brilliant Algerian tradesmen, engineers, and dreamers arrive in New York — only to be reduced to invisible labor.
A builder by instinct and a leader by purpose, he architected the entire system: the curriculum, the certifications, the partnerships with NYC employers. His belief is simple — talent does not need permission. It needs a door.
"We are not a charity.
We are a launchpad.
And every Algerian deserves one."
— Belkacem Hamitouche · Founder & CEO
Akram is a filmmaker. But more than that, he is a witness — to sacrifice, to reinvention, to the quiet dignity of people who cross oceans to give their children a better chance.
Alongside Belkacem, he gives AlgeriaRise its voice and its soul — capturing the stories no one else thought to film, and making sure the world finally sees what we are.
"This is more than education.
This is about giving people
a real chance."
— Akram · Co-Founder & Filmmaker
Electrician in Algiers for 12 years. Unrecognized here. Drove for Uber while his hands waited.

"I felt useful again. That is everything."
We are building more than a training center. We are building a system — where every Algerian who lands in New York has a clear path from day one. Learn. Certify. Work. Belong.
