Empower Hub is a youth-led, SDG-oriented social enterprise empowering everyone to study and volunteer in their dream institutions. Also, we are a team of 10 passionate young leaders. Our main sources of funding are Embassies, international organizations and other private sectors that have SDGs on their mandate. As we believe that People who are closest to pain should be closest to power, so we should empower the most vulnerable among us because everyone deserves equal protection and prosperity. Therefore, we have +150 partnerships with local youth-led organizations and students’ activities to be able to provide more opportunities to those from marginalized communities. We also had partnerships with the British Council Egypt, the US embassy, Amideast, and Women Deliver. Those partnerships have been helping us execute development programs related specifically to gender equality, quality education, climate action, and generally to the SDGs where we can contribute to solving some societal issues.
Empower Hub’s vision:
