Connecting Siwa Oasis or a Better Future.
Connecting Women Empowerment with Child Education while Revitalizing the Local Heritage in Siwa Oasis – Egypt.
One project connecting it all.
Committed since 2015 with improving education in Siwa, now we want to carry our project to the next level.
In our new program “Women for Women”, we envision working towards women empowerment,
while contributing to better education for children, and heritage revival of the unique culture in a sustainable way.
Siwa's first all-women project
"Women for women" = Working women who have experience on the field, support those who desire to work.
Working directly on the ground
We all live and work in Siwa Oasis and are directly involved and following up with every step of the process.
Cultural sensitive approach
Our project is created in cooperation with Siwan women to fulfill the requirements of their customs and culture.
Empowering Women
We aim to establish a program that will empower local women through vocational training, promoting employment. This will give women the opportunity to generate their own sustainable incomes.
Educating Children
We seek to expend our existing educational program, to be able to offer modern and quality education to a larger number of children.
Reviving Local Heritage
Handicrafts are an essential part of Siwan identity. We envision to establish a program in which we revive the five most special handicrafts of the oasis in a sustainable way.
