Introducing Effective Altruism Egypt 🇪🇬
Hi EA Forum!
We’re excited to introduce Effective Altruism Egypt,
What we’re building
We’re just getting started, but here’s what we’re planning:
Introductory events and fellowships for students and professionals in Cairo
1:1 conversations to help people explore high-impact careers
Connections with EA groups across the MENA region and globally
Where we are right now
We’ve set up our social media presence and are currently going through the process of becoming an official EA group. We’re early-stage and learning as we go, and that’s exactly why we’re reaching out to this community.
How you can help us
We’d love support from anyone who:
Has experience running an EA city or national group and is open to sharing advice
Is willing to be a mentor or offer occasional guidance
Wants to explore a partnership, whether you’re an organization, researcher, or individual working on EA-aligned projects
Has resources, templates, or lessons learned from starting a new group in an underrepresented region
If any of this resonates with you, please reach out in the comments or send us a message. We’re open to any kind of collaboration, big or small.
Thank you for welcoming us into this community. We’re excited to learn, contribute, and grow alongside you.

Great job starting this! One small correction, though:
Not quite. Check these out:
EA in Arabic
EA at NYU Abu Dhabi
Effective Altruism UAE
EA at American University of Sharjah
Effective Altruism Middle East (currently dead)
Also, there are groups that are not strictly “Arab” but are (semi?)active in the region like Muslims for EA and EA Israel.
Good luck!
Thanks for the correction! I’ll update the post now.
