Working with Egab enabled us to report on a very marginalized and often overlooked group — women with autism in Yemen. The story was an important part of a series on marginalized communities around the world, and this valuable collaboration enabled that crucial access.

Simon Allison, The Continent

The Continent faced a challenge covering North Africa without Arabic speakers. Egab solved this by delivering well-reported stories from local journalists, expertly edited and translated. This bridges the information divide between North and Sub-Saharan Africa. We're excited to expand this collaboration in 2025.
