What is Egyptian Initiatives?

Egyptian Initiatives is an independent, non-political, non-religious, and non-profit online awareness platform aiming for selecting and highlighting all the valuable initiatives within the Egyptian Society that contribute to making Egypt a better place. We believe in the power of the Egyptian people, independent of the government, independent of any political or religious groups, and independent of any constrains. We believe that we together, as Egyptians, can actively contribute on daily basis to making our society, our lives, and the lives of others continuously better.

The Egyptian society is facing serious problems such as poverty, hunger and polution among many others. We believe that with proper awareness and the contribution and the active participation of the people, we can actively find solutions to such problems, and this is where this platform comes to play an important role. Egyptianinitiatives.com will act as an awareness and communication channel promoting different important initiatives/organizations under one roof, capitalizing on the power of the internet and social media as a medium, to encourage active participation and also to foster the birth of new valuable initiatives. In the future we plan on providing this platform as a collaboration platform between the different initiatives, organizations, individuals, and corporate sponsors to plan and organize nation-wide projects tackling problems on a massive scale, providing a sort of non-governmental social security/solidarity (تكافل اجتماعي).

Egypt Carpoolers

Egypt CarpoolersEgyptcarpoolers.com is Egypt's first online carpooling community! If you are going somewhere and don't want to or can't drive, why not log on to Egyptcarpoolers.com and see if anyone else is going! Maybe you could share a ride... Egyptcarpoolers.com is designed to simply help people share rides in and around Cairo. It is basic: there is a list of people who can offer rides and there is a list of people who are looking for rides and the site automatically matches similar rides together. Pretty simple! Listings can be one-time or recurring (i.e., every Thursday of the week or every weekday at 7am). There are lots of benefits to carpooling like:

  • saving money (gas, maintenance, car depreciation)
  • reducing traffic and accordingly less time to get to your destination
  • less driving related stress
  • less parking problems
  • saving the environment by reducing carbon emissions
  • and more importantly, making new friends!

Yalla register for free on www.egyptcarpoolers.com and let the carpooling begin!
