Foundever.org and Carerha have announced the renewal of the “Freelance Mama” program in Egypt, continuing a successful partnership that has helped over 250 women gain digital skills, build self-confidence, and access income-generating opportunities within the digital economy.
Structured Training for Flexible Careers
Launched three years ago, the “Freelance Mama” program offers structured learning paths in digital skills, AI-supported content creation, online services, and preparation for remote work. The program is specifically designed for mothers, women returning to the workforce, and anyone seeking a flexible and sustainable career path.
Mentorship and Guidance at the Core
Beyond technical training, the program provides mentorship and guidance sessions tailored to the unique needs of participants. These sessions help women plan their career paths, navigate freelancing opportunities, and develop practical strategies for entering the digital workforce or launching entrepreneurial projects.
Expanding Opportunities for 2026
In 2026, 100 additional women will join new program cohorts, reinforcing Egypt’s growing role as a hub for digital talent and social innovation. The expansion highlights confidence in the program’s proven effectiveness and its ability to deliver tangible results for women seeking economic empowerment.
Combining Education with Market Access
The partnership with Carerha, a leading platform for women-focused technology education and career pathways, strengthens the connection between training and real-world market opportunities. Graduates are supported not only through education but also in transitioning into freelancing, entrepreneurship, or offering digital services that generate income.
Comprehensive Support Beyond Training
The program’s support extends beyond learning. Graduates are guided to pursue freelance work, start their own businesses, or provide paid digital services. This holistic approach ensures that the skills gained translate into sustainable economic outcomes.
Carerha CEO on Program Impact
Jessi Radwan, CEO of Carerha, stated that renewing the program reflects the power of genuine collaboration. She emphasized that “Freelance Mama” has already transformed the lives of many women in Egypt and that the renewed initiative aims to expand opportunities, strengthen resilience, and help more women participate confidently in the digital economy.
Alignment with Foundever’s Vision
The program also aligns closely with Foundever’s broader vision as a values-driven, technology-enabled organization. Through Foundever.org, social innovation becomes an integral part of the company’s journey, reshaping customer experiences, integrating AI, and developing future-ready talent.
Foundever on Education, Technology, and Social Impact
Olivier Camino, CEO and Chief Strategy Officer of Foundever.org, highlighted that combining education, technology, and social purpose strengthens communities. Supporting women in Egypt to gain digital skills is not only a social investment but also a pathway to creating new careers, nurturing future talent, and benefiting society at large.
Measuring Impact for Transparency and Effectiveness
The program continues to track its impact through clear metrics, including participation rates, program completion, employment opportunities, income generation, and confidence growth. This approach ensures transparency and measurable outcomes that demonstrate the program’s real-world effectiveness.
A Scalable Model Beyond Egypt
While Egypt remains the core focus of the program, Foundever.org and Carerha are expanding the model to new regions. The recent launch of the “Business Mama” program in Morocco demonstrates the program’s scalability, building on its proven success in Egypt to empower women in other markets.
