Majorel: Empowering African Refugees in Egypt through Educational Scholarships

Majorel Egypt has launched the impact's program, an employee-led volunteer effort to support education, improve health & wellness, and help uplift some of the most under-served communities across Egypt.

Majorel Egypt has launched the ‘Impact’ program, an employee-led volunteer effort to support education, improve health & wellness, and help uplift some of the most underserved communities across Egypt.

As its key initiative for 2020-2022, Majorel's team has agreed to a long-term partnership with the Center for Arab-West Understanding (CAWU). CAWU facilitates intercultural dialogue and provides school/learning facilities for African refugees, young generations between the ages of 16-22, who don’t have access to public schools and international education.

The ‘Impact’ program promotes equal education opportunities, development, and accessibility for all children and young adults. Within this framework, Majorel will contribute to improving the educational journey of young refugees by sponsoring them with scholarships, providing necessary educational equipment and engaging in off-campus activities.

The Impact program would provide students with internationally recognized diplomas. This framework will prepare students for university education and give birth to leaders in different refugee communities who in turn will help these communities by addressing the challenges they face.

With success and growth also comes responsibility, not only for our clients and employees, but also for our community. I am proud of the ‘Impact’ program as it transcends our key guiding principles of care for our people’s health, safety, and wellbeing within our community and gives hope to young refugees for a better future

The company's people are passionate and committed to support the CAWU Learning Center and uplift children’s spirit by taking part in different recreation activities all year round. The ‘Impact’ program is only the first step taken towards this enlightening and empowering journey of making a difference in the local community.
