361 Education Staff Trained Across Cairo, Alexandria and Aswan for Refugee Education Centers
INNODEV’s capacity-building program for Misr El Kheir Foundation has so far trained 361 teachers and education staff across Cairo, Alexandria and Aswan, out of 550 participants planned. The training is part of the “Fair and Safe Access to Education Services for Migrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers in Host Communities” project and continues across the remaining groups.
The program strengthens three core areas: Arabic literacy skills, numeracy skills, and safeguarding and protection policies for school staff, to support safer and better learning environments for refugee and host-community students.

Each course combines theory with hands-on practice and gives participants the tools to find work, start small home-based projects, or earn freelance income. Women make up the majority of participants.
