Tareke è nato in Eritrea, Paese da cui scappa a 17 anni per evitare il reclutamento militare obbligatorio a vita. Il suo è stato un lungo viaggio, durante il quale ha sperimentato la violenza, la prigionia e rischiato persino la morte. Respinto più volte nel suo tentativo di attraversare il Mediterraneo, alla fine del 2005, riesce ad approdare in Sicilia. Da allora si è sempre impegnato per aiutare chi, come lui, fugge da situazioni di sopruso e violenza indicibili. È stato mediatore culturale a Lampedusa per Save the Children e Medici senza frontiere. Oggi si occupa di aiutare i richiedenti asilo ed è presidente del "Comitato del 3 ottobre", un'organizzazione senza scopo di lucro fondata all'indomani della tragedia di Lampedusa (3 ottobre 2013) in cui hanno perso la vita 368 persone e che ha l’obiettivo di far riconoscere tale data quale “Giornata della memoria e dell’accoglienza”, sia a livello nazionale che europeo. Nel 2014 ha vinto la medaglia per l’attivismo sociale al Summit dei Premi Nobel per la Pace.

Tareke was born in Eritrea, a country he left at the age of 17 to avoid mandatory military recruitment for life. This was a long journey, during which he experienced violence, imprisonment and even risked death. At the end of 2005 he managed to get to Sicily, after been rejected several times in his attempt to cross the Mediterranean. Since then, he has always been committed to helping those who, like him, flee situations of unspeakable abuse and violence. He was cultural mediator in Lampedusa for Save the Children and Médecins Sans Frontières. Today he helps asylum seekers and he is president of the "Committee of October 3rd”, a non-profit organization founded after the Lampedusa tragedy (3rd October 2013) in which 368 people lost their lives. The association aims to raise awareness on this date as "Day of memory and reception", both in Italy and Europe. In 2014 he was awarded with the medal for social activism at the Nobel Peace Prize Summit.
