Tadamon – The Egyptian Refugee Multicultural Council

Tadamon is an independent, nonpolitical network of civil society organizations working to promote the welfare of refugees in the Egyptian society.

Tadamon (in Arabic) means “solidarity”

Tadamon began in 2006 when our founder, unified more than 50 community-based refugee collectives, believing that we could accomplish more as a united organization.
