Alexandria – Hundreds of young Egyptian entrepreneurs participated in a three-day competition designed to educate and motivate them as they develop new businesses at Start-Up Weekend Alexandria. Several sponsors, including Tahrir2, Cloud7Labs, Facilia, and Flat 6 Labs, collaborated with the U.S. government to host the event, which took place September 27-29 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Alexandria.
Cairo – People in Qena, Luxor, and Beni Suef Governorates harnessed the power of dialogue to improve their daily lives as part of a 6-year project called “Hewar” sponsored by CARE International and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
“When citizens see that they can play a role to change their communities for the better, it builds hope for the future,” said Walter North, Director of the U.S. Agency for International Development. “I am proud that USAID has been a part of a program that has brought together enthusiastic groups of young Egyptian men and women around one goal: to serve and develop their local community.”
