RHU is proud to highlight the remarkable achievement of Moukhtar Itani, a graduate of its Computer Science program and the founder of DeepSleep International. In the wake of Lebanon's ongoing crisis, Moukhtar transformed his entrepreneurial skills into a force for good. Driven by compassion, he and his family launched an initiative to support displaced families by creating and distributing pillows to those in dire need.
With a background shaped by the innovative training he received at the College of Arts and Sciences, Moukhtar was able to effectively solve a critical problem while adding meaningful value to his community. His leadership led to the successful mobilization of donations, resources, and volunteers, enabling the production of more than 1,500 pillows daily. To date, the Pillow of Hope initiative has provided over 12,000 pillows and raised more than $14,000 in support of the cause.
Moukhtar's selfless work has garnered widespread recognition, with his efforts being featured in major media outlets both within Lebanon and internationally. RHU is deeply proud of Moukhtar Itani’s dedication to helping those in need and his commitment to serving his community.
