The initiative aimed at enhancing graduates' skills for employability by bridging the gap between education and the labour market. The repercussions of world Trade Centre tragedy in 2001 incited the group to confront the growing hatred and misunderstanding between Western and Arab worlds. Hence, they decided to go global and established "Quested Peace Initiative" in February 2003 with a mandate to build bridges of understanding and trust between the West and the Middle East at grassroots levels. In 2004, Quested Peace joined the global peace-building NGO, United Religions Initiative (URI). On July 7th, 2018, Quested Peace changed its name to Desert Bloom and the name was officially registered as a nonprofit organization in Jordan.
