The Tariq Khamisa Foundation (TKF) was founded by Azim Khamisa to "stop kids from killing kids " after the 1995 shooting death of his 20-year-old son, Tariq, by a 14-year-old gang member. TKF is dedicated to Breaking the Cycle of Youth Violence by Empowering Kids, Saving Lives, and Teaching Peace. We provide powerful and proven school-based violence prevention education programs. We teach them about the realities of gangs, violence, revenge, and the importance of becoming “peacemakers”.
