Nehal and Eiad, trace their roots back to Al Manial, a vibrant neighborhood nestled on an island in the heart of Cairo. For nearly a century, their family has been a part of this historic district, a short stroll from both the Cairo University and the iconic Tahrir Square. Nehal’s father, made the journey from his village to study law at the university, ultimately settling in Al Manial and building a life with Nehal’s mother, a lifelong resident. This deep-rooted connection to the neighborhood has shaped generations, including the founders themselves.

Al Manial’s tree-lined avenues, bustling local markets, and picturesque views of the Nile River have served as the backdrop to countless family stories, traditions, and celebrations. It was within this close-knit community that Nehal and Eiad forged lifelong friendships, experienced the warmth of Egyptian hospitality, and gained a profound understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing their neighbors.

This intimate knowledge of Al Manial, passed down through the generations, not only instilled in them a deep sense of social responsibility but also fueled their passion. Their personal connection to Al Manial goes beyond mere nostalgia. It’s a living testament to their belief in the power of community-driven change. By focusing their efforts on this beloved neighborhood, Nehal and Eiad are not only giving back to the place they call home but also honoring the legacy of those who came before them.
