You can contact us even before you return. We support you in preparing for your return to Egypt. To do this, we work closely with reintegration scouts. These colleagues work in Germany.

Together we will give you information and tips for a successful reintegration. This way you can make the best decisions for your situation. You are in control of your future path. Thorough preparation also increases your chances of a successful and smooth return to Egypt.
