Valu, MENA\u2019s leading universal financial technology powerhouse, has announced its partnership with RoboGarden Egypt, the AI-powered EdTech platform, to provide flexible payment plans for the \u201cLearn to Earn\u201d initiative. This initiative seeks to empower youth across Egypt \u2014 with a special focus on women and people with disabilities \u2014 by providing specialized digital training programs designed to equip them with the skills needed to thrive in today\u2019s evolving job market.<\/p>\n
The initiative features an innovative approach that promotes equal opportunity in education by offering a hybrid learning experience. Combined with Valu\u2019s flexible payment solutions, it ensures that high-quality digital training is accessible and affordable to all.<\/p>\n
\u201cLearn to Earn\u201d marks a significant milestone for both companies, with strong strategic value for the supporting entities. For Valu, this collaboration represents an opportunity to expand its diverse portfolio in lifestyle enablement, particularly in skill development and education \u2014 in alignment with national development goals and impactful community engagement.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the partnership,\u00a0Walid Hassouna, CEO of Valu, said:\u00a0<\/b>\u201cThis collaboration reflects Valu\u2019s deep-rooted commitment to education and to the community we serve. As we expand beyond the traditional buy-now-pay-later model, initiatives like \u2018Learn to Earn\u2019 allow us to channel our financial tools toward meaningful, long-term impact. By partnering with RoboGarden Egypt, we\u2019re enabling individuals \u2014 particularly those from less fortunate communities \u2014 to acquire in-demand skills and unlock economic opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The program features a comprehensive, engaging learning experience \u2014 including self-paced content, live online sessions, and in-person workshops. Pathways such as web development open real opportunities for employment or freelance work in Egypt\u2019s digital economy. Participants receive a certificate upon completing 75% of the content, with their progress tracked through analytics, attendance, and assessments.<\/p>\n
As part of its commitment to supporting the initiative, Valu is hosting five training cohorts at Valu Caf\u00e9, sponsoring a total of 20 students, with four participants from each cohort receiving a 50% discount on the program fees.<\/p>\n
Lamise Negm, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of RoboGarden Egypt and Advisor to the Chairman of the Financial Regulatory Authority,<\/b>\u00a0expressed her pride and appreciation for launching this initiative, noting that it transcends traditional digital education to represent a deeply human mission. Negm stated: “What makes this initiative truly special is its focus on traditionally marginalized groups\u2014women, people with disabilities, and youth in remote areas\u2014by opening doors to the tech sector without requiring them to abandon their daily lives or overcome insurmountable barriers. It offers real opportunities for professional growth and economic empowerment by building solid bridges between education and employment. This reflects a conscious collaboration between the private sector and development partners to create a more just and inclusive tech landscape\u2014one where no one is left behind.”<\/p>\n
Engy El Sabban, CEO and Co-founder of RoboGarden Egypt, added<\/b>: \u201cThrough this initiative, we aim to extend RoboGarden\u2019s reach to the underserved youth, women, and people with disabilities \u2014 empowering them with remote work opportunities and flexible career paths. Our hybrid model proves scalable in the local market. We target more than 1,000 trainees across Egypt by the end of the year. Early pilot groups, delivered in collaboration with both local and international organizations, have shown strong support across sectors \u2014 and Valu\u2019s contribution will be instrumental in scaling our impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
El Sabban noted that five training cohorts will be held under this partnership, with 25 participants in each \u2014 reaching a total of 125 learners. She emphasized that vocational and skills-based training is key to enhancing labor market competitiveness in Egypt, especially amid global economic shifts and the growing reliance on technology. Statistics show that around 60% of Egyptian university graduates struggle to secure employment immediately after graduation due to the gap between educational outcomes and market needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
