Every dollar to those in need
About Salsabeel
Mission Statement:
We at Salsabeel believe in the power of direct giving. By providing financial aid, food, and medical support, we ensure that Egypt’s most vulnerable people receive the help they need—quickly and without barriers. Every donation goes straight to those in need, making a real difference in their lives.
Values
At Salsabeel, we are guided by direct action, transparency, and compassion. By eliminating intermediaries, we ensure that 100% of donations go directly to those in need. To uphold this commitment, Eiad and Nehal personally cover all administrative costs, including website hosting and incorporation fees.
Vision
Looking ahead, we aim to expand our programs beyond direct aid—providing skills training and educational opportunities that empower people to support themselves. We also aspire to extend our reach beyond Egypt, bringing our model of direct, transparent giving to other communities in need around the world.
History
Salsabeel began as Nehal’s vision to help those facing hardship in Egypt. What started as individual acts of giving grew into a collective effort, leading to the incorporation of our non-profit in 2022. To expand our impact, we officially registered as a charity under the Canadian Income Tax Act in 2024.
About our Founders
Nehal Azab was born and raised in Egypt, where she learned the values of resilience, compassion, and community—values that continue to shape her today. In the late 1980s, she immigrated to Canada in search of new opportunities but never lost her deep connection to her homeland. No matter how far she was from Egypt, giving back was always part of her life.
As a single mother of three, Nehal worked hard to build a life in Canada while dedicating her career to supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities. Her work wasn’t just a job—it was a reflection of her belief in the dignity and potential of every person.
Now retired, Nehal brings that same energy and passion to everything she does, whether it’s traveling, giving back through Salsabeel, or even completing her first half marathon. Her journey is at the heart of Salsabeel’s mission—bridging her two homes, Egypt and Canada, to bring hope and opportunity to those who need it most.
Eiad Azab’s journey spans two countries—born in Egypt and raised in Canada, he has always maintained a strong connection to his roots. This bond drives his commitment to giving back through Salsabeel Charity.
With over a decade of experience in the Canadian government, Eiad works as an executive specializing in data, infrastructure, and housing policy. His skills in strategy and analysis help guide Salsabeel’s efforts, ensuring donations make the biggest impact.
Outside of work, Eiad is a dedicated runner, training toward his goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Whether in his career, his charity work, or his personal goals, he is committed to doing his best.
Our Liasion in Siwa
Omar Diab, a vibrant young leader, embodies the spirit of Siwa Oasis. Born and raised in this ancient community where his family roots run deep, he is deeply connected to his heritage and passionate about sharing the wonders of his homeland. A graduate of the University of Alexandria, he returned to Siwa to contribute to its growth. As a knowledgeable guide and skilled hotel manager, Omar welcomes visitors with warmth, revealing Siwa’s hidden treasures.
Omar’s chance encounter with Nehal Azab, co-founder of Salsabeel Charity, forged a connection that transcended borders. Their shared passion for community and philanthropy has blossomed into a fruitful partnership, bridging Canada and Egypt. Fluent in Arabic, English, and Siwi, his local Amazigh language, Omar’s linguistic talents enhance his ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His community-minded nature, friendly demeanor, and adventurous spirit make him an invaluable asset to both Siwa and Salsabeel Charity.
