The Journey of Hope
Threads of Hope Cairo is a for-profit social enterprise whose primary goal is to produce sustainable work for marginalized women
both local and refugees, in Cairo, Egypt. Founded in 2018 by Malaika in an effort to expand the reach of its embroidery training programs,
it gives the trainees an opportunity to work with other brands.

The women are trained in one of the five fine techniques: embroidery, cross-stitch, ajour, corded work and natural dyes. We aim to produce hand embroidery of the utmost quality to clients in the fashion and textile industry. It creates a sustainable and ethical supply chain by providing fair work and pay
Underprivileged women are recruited through various channels (e.g., word of mouth, social media, international organizations).Organizations currently participating in the program include the UNHCR, Alfanar, Save the Children Foundation and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
It's crucial to address the holistic well-being of the participants. Threads of Hope Cairo incorporate life skills training, including communication skills, problem-solving, resilience building, and self-care. Workshops on mental health, stress management, and emotional well-being are also included to support the overall growth and resilience of the participants.
