Bring out the Best

In order to be effective and sustainable, projects require a vision for a better community as well as experience in the sector. Our team is passionate about development and trained to provide strategies for sustainability. Our diverse experience means that we deal with projects on a case-by-case basis ? a methodology that allows us to examine each project holistically, yet always in context.

 

Under the leadership of Dr. Laila Iskander Kamel, our Community Development department has worked on projects that encourage social entrepreneurship in both individuals and organizations. We also work closely with NGOs, enabling them to effectively assess and remedy obstacles to development.

 

Our experience over the past 15 years spans the areas of environment, solid waste management/ recycling, education, gender-based empowerment, capacity-building of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), income-generation for persons employed in the informal sector, and working children.
