Bio:

Marwa is leading Fat’het Kheir (FK), one of the most successful and active NGOs in Egypt. This development organization aims to improve the lives of the half-million impoverished earthquake survivors living in El Hadaba and El Wosta. More than 75% of the homes in these marginalized communities are headed by illiterate females. Thousands of families have benefited from FK’s economic, educational, socio-cultural development programs. The organization is also meeting its goal of creating an empowering, replicable development model; the project has been duplicated in 5 areas in the past 3 years. Marwa is also heading the Publication Unit in the Institute of Cultural Affairs in Cairo and creating a community space where diverse people can learn from and inspire each other.
