Mrs Grevin presented the “Woman: Educator of peace” Project, delivered by Koz Kazah Association – partrner of New Humanity – in Shubra, one of the porrer districts of El Cairo (Egypt). This project was born in 2013 and involves 90 young women in a long series of activities, in order to promote their rights and to develop their potentialities.

As a consequence of this project, the women involved reached a better awareness of their capacity in supporting the poorer. The Egyptian Ministery for Environment aknowledged its patronage to this initiative and it has been promoted as a good practice among the other Egyptian NGOs.

The participants to the Fourth Forum of the NGOs in Official Partnership with the UNESCO particularly appreciated the innovation of this project: it looks at the woman involved as foundamental partners in fighting poverty; however, Shubra’s women especially demonstrated to be foundamental instruments of peace and dialogue.
