TAPROOT

Ahead of COP 27, and in light of the strategic cooperation between Emirates NBD – Egypt and ButtonUp, we launched the Taproot project. Taproot aims to provide locally-born solutions to mitigate climate change risks and support local communities’ environmental, social, and economic resilience. By offering training on environmentally friendly industries, the project empowers women and youth in Izzbet Khairallah.

The project focuses on building the capacity of women and youth from Izzbet Khairallah, enabling them to produce and market high-quality, environmentally friendly products. These products include recycled tires, textiles, pottery, and more.
