It is unheard of in Egypt to have women working as car mechanics. But one of the bus companies in Egypt in partnership with Alexandria Bank have decided to train 60 women to become car mecahnics.
The bus company approached Not Guilty to train the engineers, men car mechanics and women mechanics on safety in the work place.
This initiative is a unique initiative but is a feat and victory for Egyptian women.
Not Guilty is in the process of partnering with that bus company to train 475 students among which 60 are girls.
