Mission and Objectives

TSF is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization that works to bring lasting and sustainable changes to social and economic problems. It is established as a research, training and policy hub to respond to the challenges
confronting Egypt and the Middle East North Africa region at large. The Foundation envisions seeing marginalized and vulnerable populations in Egypt capable of living a quality of life where technological innovation, education and economic empowerment are leveraged on sustainability. Our experts aspire to work hand-in-hand with all relevant stakeholders on the ground; including and not limited to; academic institutions, corporations, government agencies, nonprofits and individuals. Our plan is to advise national governments on issues related to sustainable development and implement the projects with all stakeholders involved. We focus on providing social and economic opportunities for all people regardless their racial profile, gender, age, religious beliefs or disability. Our uniqueness also comes in our approach to each of these sectors, as we believe in integrating media, the arts, sports and technology to find solutions that are innovative, engaging and long lasting.

Main Projects / Activities

TSF has broad interests in many sectors such as climate and society, education, healthcare, mental health, renewable energy, and public welfare. At TSF we promote sustainable, scalable, community-led progress towards the use of scientifically validated interventions. We ensure ownership of governments, local and community stakeholders. One of our core beliefs is increasing capacity and community empowerment through training and knowledge sharing with local governments and Community Based Organizations (CBOs). Partnering with the public and private sectors, innovative NPOs, universities, leading experts, and the international donor community to continually improve and coordinate development strategies. Public awareness and combatting stigmatized segments of the society is one of our main strategic areas of interest. Awareness about mental health issues, struggles and creating opportunities for stigmatized psychiatric and psychologically affected individuals to become completely integrated, functional, productive and most importantly passionate about their lives in the bigger society are our main objectives. 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We bring in local and international expertise in working in sustainable development. Our ideas are innovative and unorthodox as we try to address the chronic problems we have been facing in our region using arts, sports and use of technology to make the beneficiaries more engaged ensuring buy in and sustainability of whatever we have planned in our projects. We are sure our inputs will be enriching to all members of this esteemed network. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We would like to share our experiences with other members of the network and learn from their experiences in order not to reinvent the wheel in any way. To be able to collaborate and make strategic partnerships and alliances with the other member organizations for mutually benefitial purposes allowing our work overall to become more cost-effective, efficient and not redundant at all.
