EFE is organizing our first-ever Benefit "Hire Purpose" to raise funds to support youth employment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Now more than ever, young men and women in MENA countries need economic opportunities. Your support at this pivotal moment is critical.

This benefit will bring together our community to empower youth through jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, UAE, and Yemen.
