Initiated in 2003 and formally established in 2007, Better World aims to prepare the young people of Egypt for success in the modern professional world through development of technological literacy, life and occupational skills, and by providing ongoing employment support. The International Center for Technology (ICT) offers 27 free courses to underprivileged Egyptian college students and recent graduates in a variety of subjects from English language to web design. ICT courses are taught by students from Egypt and prestigious universities around the world, furthering inter-cultural understanding and cooperation.

Main Objectives

Computer literacy

In an effort to put the Egyptian youth on the global track in technology, we created a modular training program, consisting of courses in word-processing, web design, multi-media software and animation.

Life-skills education

The development of life-skills is an integral part of our mission at Better World and we organize seminars and lectures on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, personal and employee rights, nutrition, behavior management, drug awareness and reproductive health. Through our curriculum, we also ensure access to special services such as counseling, mentoring, tutoring and involvement of the family.

Employment support

Better World ensures the progress of its graduates upon completion of the training, through the agencies and services provided within the Ministry of Education and Youth. In addition, we contact centers offering self-employment services, in which recent graduates can make use of the computer skills developed through ICT
