Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women (ADEW)

Overview

The Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women (ADEW) is an independent Egyptian organization that works directly with the female heads of households (hereafter referred to as FHHs), their families and lately with the youth in some of the most impoverished squatter areas in Cairo and other governorates. Additionally, ADEW works in 3 other governorates including Qalioubiyah, Gharbiya and South Sinai. ADEW’s overall objective is to enhance women’s conditions on both the national and global level.

The first feminist organization that offers a micro-credit model centered on the concept of “peer-lending” instead of the traditional notions of collateral. Throughout ADEW's 28 years, the number of beneficiaries has reached more than 350,000 women.
