We free families from debt.
We're neighbours, makers and mentors. We give interest-free loans, clear unfair debts, and help people build a living that lasts.
We don't hand out fish. We help people build the boat.
We clear the debt that traps a family, then help them start something of their own. Our next step is an incubator — a place where young Egyptians design real products, learn to run a business, and make things the world wants to buy.
- Capital, not charity — interest-free loans and small investments to start a livelihood.
- Skills that stick — product design, making, budgeting and business basics.
- A path to market — co-ops that produce, and a route to sell, at home and abroad.
The people behind the numbers.
When families tell their own story, we listen. Here are a few.
Lift a burden. Build a future.
Give once or monthly. Most of every pound goes straight into a family's livelihood.
We work family by family — and on the system around them.

Three levels, one goal: families who never need us again.
Micro — the family
We give interest-free loans for a tool, machine or first stock. And where a family is already buried, we negotiate the debt down — getting loan sharks to drop the interest, and shopkeepers to waive their profit — then pay it off.
Mezzo — the community
We teach money and business at the community level — needs vs wants, budgeting, pricing, and the shift from buying-on-credit to making and selling. And we help neighbours form co-ops that pool, produce and grow together.
Macro — the system
Some causes of debt sit above any one family. We share what we learn, raise awareness about predatory lending, and champion interest-free finance — informing the policy conversation through evidence, not partisan lobbying.
An engine that turns skill into livelihoods — and products the world buys.
Egypt makes things, and makes them well. Our vision is a product house: an incubator where we distribute micro-loans and small investments, teach young people product design and making, and build co-ops that manufacture for sale — at home and for export.
- Design + make — like a studio that teaches by building real, sellable products.
- Two engines, one mission — a non-profit that trains and lends, working hand-in-hand with a trading arm that sells (inspired by IDEO.org and Ten Thousand Villages).
- Co-ops to market — neighbours own the work; we open the door to buyers worldwide.
Made by neighbours, owned by neighbours.
Co-ops keep the value in the community. Members learn, produce and share in what they sell — and the income they once lost to interest goes into their own pockets and their children's future.
Help us build it.
Your gift funds the loans, the training and the workshop benches.
There's a place here for you.
However you give — money, time, skills, or a connection — it goes straight to a family in Egypt.
Donate
Give once or monthly. Most of every pound becomes a loan that's repaid and lent again.
Give monthly
Steady support lets us plan, lend further, and stand by a family until they're on their feet.
Start a Circle
Seed a self-renewing local fund — at your mosque, your hometown, or in someone's memory.
Become a Friend
Volunteer your time or skills — mentoring, accounting, design, translation, outreach.
Partner with us
Mosques, retailers, NGOs and buyers — let's serve the same families, better.
Fundraise
Rally your family, friends or workplace around a family's loan or a Circle.
One gift, given again and again.
Because loans come back, the money you give today helps the next family next year. Ongoing charity — sadaqah jāriyah — by design.
Real people. Real work. A way out.

Maisara is young, but the people behind it aren't. For forty years they've built businesses, farms and institutions that lift families up.
Forty years in the making.
It starts with a trade
Our founders begin building and rescuing small businesses across Egypt — learning, the hard way, what it takes for a family to stand on its own.
From desert to farmland
A 150-acre desert-agriculture project turns arid land into productive farms — proof that the right investment can transform a livelihood for good.
Institutions that serve
Years of nonprofit leadership — schools, markets, daycares and community services — and board roles with organisations serving orphans and rural families.
Water, land and dignity
Partnering with the Ministry of Social Solidarity on rural water filtration and capacity-building, and farming 50 acres to support orphans.
Maisara
Everything we've learned, in one model: interest-free loans, debt relief, community education — and an incubator to come.
A small team and a wide circle.
Leadership, trustees, staff and the Friends who give their time and skills. Filter to meet them.

Staff & Partner Portal
For Maisara staff and verified partners.
Your gift, mostly straight to a family.
Give once or monthly. Here's exactly where each pound goes — we keep overhead low on purpose.
Illustrative allocation. Loans are repaid and lent again, so the "livelihood" share keeps working long after you give.
