HHE Vision and Mission Statement
HHE Foundation seeks to promote a free and fair society, where all the Egyptians will have the right to a decent and honorable life, and where they can actively engage in the decision making process, in a manner that influences decisions that bear on their lives. To serve this purpose, HHE pursues a wide array of approaches, including offering training and capacity building programs, enhancing cross-fertilization of experiences and efforts, fostering community dialogues, etc, to increase engagement by all the Egyptian citizenry, in general, and the male and female youth, in particular.
Why Do We Exist and Function?
We exist and continue to function for the welfare of Egypt and the wellbeing of Egypt's highbred and honorable people … We continue to function for the voice of the youth, who are the future leaders, to be heard … We continue to function to ensure fair and full engagement in the decision making process … We continue to function to give voice for all who feel excluded or left out … We continue to function to create future cadres of leadership … We continue to function because we believe there is now an unprecedented latitude of freedom in Egypt… We continue to function because we are the children of Egypt … We continue to function because we are part of Egypt's civil society.
These are our slogans, and such are the values we embrace in HHE. HHE is an Egyptian nonprofit and nonpartisan NGO, with no particular developmental orientation or political affiliation. HHE is established from the premises that Egypt is for all Egyptian citizens. HHE is launched to empower the youth, give rise to the voice of citizenship, expand and reinforce equality among all, enhance social equity, and give voice to the Egyptian voters.
