Alexandria · 36 months
Youth and Leadership Project
Building bridges takes us further than building walls. Young people need safe spaces where they can express themselves, share ideas, and listen to others without fear of judgment.
The project brings together Egyptian and refugee youth in Alexandria through training, arts, culture, sports, and volunteering, so they can acquire skills that prepare them to lead and influence those around them.
