EGYPT YMCA

Mind, Body and Soul…

A world wide movement that aims to: build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. 

In 1909 the first local YMCA work was introduced by the American College in Assuit, in 1911 a group of people got together in Assuit City and took the necessary steps, to start the first YMCA in Egypt.

In 1922 the International Committee of the US YMCA and Canada YMCA, started the effort to raise a large amount of money to buy the palace of an Ex-Prime Minister to  be the Head Quarter in Cairo, for the benefit of YMCA work in Egypt.

Dr. John R. Mott of the US YMCA, had an audience with King Fouad, Kind of Egypt, to have his blessing for establishing the YMCA Organization in Egypt.

On January 6, 1923, it was the unforgettable day in the history of the YMCA in Egypt, when the Cairo YMCA was inaugurated and took place in a unique place under the auspices of the king.
