In February 2011, Badr Jafar launched the Middle East Theatre Academy (META), a non-profit theatre academy to provide a platform to nurture young actors, directors, and producers from the Middle East, and help them to showcase their talent internationally.[18] In May 2011, Jafar and music producer Quincy Jones produced a charity single titled Tomorrow/Bokra,[19] featuring 26 Arab artists, to raise funds for educational arts projects for displaced youth in the Middle East.[20] The proceeds went towards the development of arts programs for over 430,000 disadvantaged children in partnership with Save The Children.
