The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is known for placing a high value on its youths. There is even a minister of youth affairs whose mandate is to bring together young professionals to represent the affairs of youth to the government.
The government initiatives have motivated many young people to take on new ventures. Ismail Dajani and Mohammad Sani Ali, both 16, started an online sustainable clothing line, Iris, two years ago. The busy American School of Dubai students say they wish they had more time to grow their business.
