An Egyptian nonprofit building people since 2018 through education, empowerment, and family support

Who we are
A registered nonprofit organization based in Al Attarin, Alexandria, with a permanent field team.
Where we work
Al Attarin, Karmouz, Al Manshiya, Al Ameriya, and Borg El Arab, with seasonal campaigns reaching beyond.
Why we exist
Because poverty and narrow opportunity deny families education and a dignified income. Our role is to help them stand again.
What we offer
Educating and training students, empowering women breadwinners, sponsoring families, and seasonal campaigns in Ramadan, winter, and the school season.
How we started and how we grew
Emtiazat began in Ramadan 2018 as an initiative by a group of Alexandrians, distributing a few hundred food boxes to neighboring families most in need in Al Attarin.
It quickly became clear that seasonal aid is not enough: a family that receives a box in Ramadan needs a steady income and schooling for its children all year. So we registered formally and built lasting programs that move from relief to empowerment.
Today we work year-round across five neighborhoods, with a permanent team and 260+ volunteers, toward the same goal we started with: helping a family until it can support itself.
What sets our work apart
Where we focus now
We are expanding “Productive Women” and “Ready,” increasing the number of monthly sponsored families, and improving how we track each case after support ends.
