Resala is an Egyptian non-profit organization established in October 2000 with the establishment of its first building at Faisal, Giza, Egypt. Resala aims at spreading the volunteering spirit in Egypt through various activities that help the Egyptian community.
The Resala Edge
What makes Resala unique and provides it with an edge over other non-profits in Egypt is its wide and rapidly expanding base of volunteers who power its diverse activities. The presence of volunteers helps reduce costs in accomplishing many of the Resala activities.

Early Beginnings
The idea behind Resala started in 1999 when Dr Sherif Abdel Azim, now Chairman of Resala, was delivering a lecture to his Engineering school students at Cairo University as part of an academic course about Work Ethics. At the end of the lecture, student's gathered around him and expressed their desire to take action and not just stand still in front of negative aspects they see in the community. They decided to be positive and start helping out their surrounding community by cleaning up their university, delivering free training courses to their colleagues and helping out in spreading the word about blood donation among their colleagues at the School of Engineering at Cairo University.
