How it started
How Salsabeel began.
Salsabeel began with Nehal Azab's longstanding commitment to helping people facing hardship in Egypt. Together with her son, Eiad El Fateh, she turned individual acts of giving into an organization that could invite others to help.
The charity was incorporated in Canada in 2022 and received registered charitable status in 2024. The founding idea remains simple: stay close to the people being assisted and treat every person with dignity and care.
Personal assistance remains at the centre of the work.
Salsabeel grows carefully so that accountability and human
connection are not lost.
