Sawiris Foundation

Overview

The Sawiris Foundation for Social Development (SFSD) is an Egyptian non-profit organization founded in 2001 by the Sawiris family, one of Egypt’s wealthiest business families. The foundation focuses on poverty alleviation, education, employment, and healthcare to improve the quality of life for underprivileged communities in Egypt. With increasing global and national challenges, Sawiris Foundation developed its strategic directions while keeping in mind finding the most cost-effective and impactful ways to support marginalized communities as well as those trying to further positive social change in Egypt. In its recently launched 2023- 2028 strategy, Sawiris Foundation focuses on reducing multidimensional poverty and empowering agents of change. Sawiris Foundation also commits to full transparency in its strategy on the grounds of accountability, openness, and continuous learning.
