  • What ignited your pursuit for SDGs especially the goals you believe in?
    The passion for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in climate and public health, was sparked by a deep commitment to positive change and addressing global challenges. Recognizing the vital role these goals play in community and planetary well-being, I pursued relevant courses and engaged in extracurricular activities. Enrolling in the USAID scholarship program and the Empower Hub Scholarship Academy provided a practical avenue to contribute. As one of the 60 leaders in the Empower 2030 Leaders program, it was an honor for me to collaborate with 59 other leaders and great speakers, all of whom are passionate about climate other SDGs, witnessing the impact of sustainable development and emphasizing the importance of effective communication. Organizing the African Youth Chess Championship was transformative. Handling responsibilities, teaching Arabic, and fostering cross-cultural understanding underscored the importance of leadership and organization in achieving common goals. Participating in a British Council workshop and speaking at seminars enhanced my innovative and public speaking skills, strengthening my ability to contribute to SDGs. Initiatives like the Young Leaders Academy, volunteering, and participating in competitions reflect my commitment to lasting impact. In essence, my pursuit of SDGs goes beyond academic or professional realms; it’s a personal calling driven by a vision of a better, more sustainable world.
  • Please share your biggest wins as an SDGs advocate
    “As a sustainable development goals advocate, I have participated in multiple initiatives to raise awareness in the community, such as the ‘Ambassadors of Egypt for Sustainable Development’ initiative. I have focused on education awareness by regularly sharing information about available educational opportunities, scholarships, and training programs on my Facebook page. Additionally, I established an academy called ‘Young Leaders’ for high school students to encourage them to set goals, foster a love for research, and qualify for scholarships and strong opportunities. I participated in a workshop organized by the British Council to discuss and find solutions for some sustainable development goals. The goal was to empower individuals to make decisions and take actions towards achieving sustainable development. I have also engaged in various sustainable competitions, such as the Youth Being Brains Prize, where I presented solutions to issues like climate change, good health, water scarcity, sustainable energy, and poverty alleviation. Overall, my journey as an SDGs advocate geared towards creating positive change and advancing the global goals for sustainable development.”
