لا شيء يسعدني أكثر من رؤية المرأة الإماراتية تأخذ دورها في المجتمع وتحقق المكان اللائق بها.. يجب ألا يقف شيء في وجه مسيرة تقدمها، للنساء الحق مثل الرجال في أن يتبوآن أعلى المراكز، بما يتناسب مع قدراتهن ومؤهلاتهن

برنامج إ7: بنات الإمارات، المبادرة الرائدة التي أطلقتها منظمة وعد الأجيال، هو برنامج ممتد لعام واحد يجمع الفتيات اللاتي تتراوح أعمارهن ما بين 18 و25 سنة لبناء المهارات القيادية لديهن مع إقامة مشروعات جماعية تعود بالنفع على مجتمعنا في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة

This annual program kicks off with the e7 Girls Summit in September, a 4-day networking and development experience focused on Inspiration, Training, Connection & Commitment.

The Summit is the catalyst that facilitates team-driven initiatives to benefit the community; fulfilling the UAE leaders’ vision of encouraging women to contribute to society.

Noor Bint Ahmed Nina K, e7 Class of 2020 Founder of e7culture.ae and co-founder of edutainers7

“e7 Banat Program was a turning point in my journey, it gave me the confidence and community to pursue social entrepreneurship and launch e7culture.ae. Today, as a Board Member of the very program that shaped me, I’m committed to ensuring new participants experience that same spark: the courage to lead, the joy of sisterhood, and the power of purpose-driven impact. I’ve lived the legacy of e7, and now I carry it forward not just as a memory, but as a Mission.”

Mozah Al Samahi, e7 Class of 2015 Founder of “Yala Sarayna” project

“I’m always interested to share my culture with others, and to learn about other cultures as well. When I came back to the Emirates, I realized there was a gap between nationals and non-nationals, I wasn’t sure why the gap existed, but I wanted to build a bridge. It makes me happy to hear back from the attendees wanting me to host more events. This shows they are having fun and learning so much."

Soukaina Rachidi, e7 Class of 2015 Founding member of “The Lotus Effect” project

“When I joined e7’s inaugural year, I could never have imagined how this community would change my life. This initiative is an example of the key to finding the solutions that we need to catalyze positive economic and social development in the Arab world. By building the human capital of Arab women and communities, we are giving our Arab youth the confidence and experience they need to build a better future. I am proud to be a part of this movement and I hope to pass on the torch to upcoming generations of e7 sisters.”

Sana Adam Bint al Emarat, e7 Class of 2018-2019 participant

You walk in as a stranger and walk out as a member of a family that love, care and share the sorrow and joy with you. Who would wish for more?!"
