WHERE WE WORK
We aim to serve all people living in the 25 countries across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). While these countries vary culturally and politically, the main social issues facing them are similar: lack of high-quality education from pre-primary to higher education, persistent youth unemployment, high levels of poverty and illiteracy, human rights violations and gender inequality. Some countries suffer from conflicts, while others bear the weight of the refugee crisis caused by the conflicts. Both of these factors deepen the difficult social issues already present.
