Egypt Overview

We’ve been fighting housing poverty in Egypt since 1989. Our team has built and renovated over 27,800 homes to date.

We partner with the homeowners themselves and with other local associations to achieve our goals, turning despair into hope for those living in 30 communities. By working with these organisations at the grassroots level, we build on their established knowledge and insight in the community. A group of local, representative volunteers serve as the housing committee which selects loan recipients from within their community.
