His establishment of Gift of the Givers Foundation was the consequence of a message Dr Sooliman, then aged 30, received from Sufi Sheikh Muhammed Saffer Effendi al Jerrahi, his spiritual leader in Istanbul, Turkey, who called on him to serve all people of all races, of all religions, of all colours, of all classes, of all political affiliations and of any geographical location… a calling he honoured then and continues to honour today.  His endeavour in this regard has seen Gift of the Givers Foundation emerge as one of the most respected humanitarian organisations in the world and is today the largest disaster response agency of African origin anywhere on the continent.  Since 1992, Dr Sooliman has steered the organisation to many Notable Achievements and World Firsts.

Nick Davies

Following on the heels of his midlife crisis, and his own lifechanging experience of psychotherapy, Nick altered careers, abandoning his erstwhile wannabe-actuary trajectory and transitioning to Clinical Psychologist. He has never looked back.
As a psychodynamic therapist in private practice he delighted, alongside his clients, in the archeological excavations of their
unconscious. The predominance of the maternal influence in most psychodynamic theory, and the relative absence of the
role of the father in children’s development prompted a PhD in which Nick explored the importance of the paternal function on the developing personality. Life can turn on a sixpence and personal circumstances introduced Nick to the field of neurodivergence, triggering a need and desire to know more about it. After a two-year sojourn in the UK NHS, exploring
options and support for neurodevelopmental conditions he and his family returned to South Africa firmly of the belief that the
understanding of Autism and neurodivergence and associated support structures were just as good in our own South Africa. Since returning, Nick has found working in the rapidly developing area of neurodivergence both stimulating and deeply rewarding. His passion is destigmatizing autism through education and increasing early recognition to ensure early intervention.
