Our Story

We are Tawasol.
We work in Ezbet Khairallah, one of Cairo’s largest slum communities.

From the beginning, we believed that if you want to change the future of a community, you start with its children. So we started with a school. A place where children could learn, feel safe, and have access to education.

But very quickly, we learned something important. Education alone is not enough. You cannot expect a child to focus in school if their home is struggling to survive.

So we understood that development has to be holistic.

We saw that the mother is the heart of the household. When she is supported, the entire family feels it. So we created vocational programs for mothers. We taught handcraft and practical skills that generate real income.

The products these women make are sold through our shop. The income goes directly back into the school.

As the work grew, we realised that fathers also needed opportunities. So we expanded vocational programs for men.

At the same time, we invested in culture.

We created performing arts programs for children and youth. Acrobatics, movement, and physical theatre. These performances are shared through live shows.

Our future vision is to build the Tawasol Circus and Acrobatics Theatre.

We also developed the Tawasol Wellness Club – نادي تواصل للصحة للشباب – a space for youth health, sports, and belonging.

Tawasol is not a project. It is a system.

We educate youth. We support families. We create opportunities. And we reinvest everything back into the community. That is Tawasol.
