Volunteer Opportunity for Egyptian Females at Haddouta Mesreya

Haddouta Mesreya is offering a volunteer opportunity in Egypt, within I am a genuine Egyptian program that aims at providing support to girls in marginalized communities to access quality higher education in order to play a leadership role in their communities and providing a role model to others. Working with the parents to reinforce the values of gender equality. This program also serves as a one mean for providing solidarity and contributes to social justice in the Egyptian society.

The program aims to help underprivileged girls to fulfill their dream to get access to quality higher education. We select girls who finished grade 9 with grades that enable them to join secondary school. After grade 9, many disadvantaged families tend to send their girls to technical schools where they spend 3 years and graduate afterward. They do that because technical schools are not financially exhausted as secondary school and University. By that stage, many dreams fade away and vanish due to the financial status of their families. Our goal is to reawaken the dreams of those girls and help them to have an enlighten future.

1. To be a student that finished grade 9 with grades that enables her from joining the secondary school. (The initiative may accept boys with exceptional circumstances)
2. To be from underprivileged families and their financial status do not allow them from joining the university
3. To be an ambitious student and serious in her study
4. Priorities are for girls live in Upper Egypt, remote & marginalized area in Cairo and Lower Egypt.

About:

Haddouta Merseya for development and services is a non-profit organisation registered in 2018. Its main program “I am a genuine Egyptian” seeks to empower girls to have access to higher education to be effective leaders and agent of changes in their communities.

We are a group of friends and friends of friends who decided to give back to our community; to support girls to get access to higher education. Many of the group members got educational scholarships inside and outside Egypt to pursue their dreams and experienced personal and professional benefit of being lifelong learners. We do believe that giving back is one of our duties to our beloved country Egypt to support girls to have the same experience in fulfilling their dreams.
