DALYA NYC, a womenswear brand founded by Egyptian entrepreneur Farida Raafat, has partnered with Education For Employment (EFE) to support youth, women, and refugees across the MENA region with access to job training, mentorship, and career opportunities. Through this partnership, a percentage of every DALYA NYC purchase is donated to EFE, empowering young women and men to build sustainable futures.

“This collaboration brings our mission full circle,” says Farida. “As a brand with heritage deeply rooted in the MENA region, it allows us to give back in a way that’s personal and powerful. Every DALYA NYC piece now doesn’t just make you feel confident — it helps someone else build a future.”

The partnership reflects DALYA NYC’s core belief in the power of financial independence to transform lives. “We dress women for the lives they’re building — as founders, leaders, and creatives,” Farida adds. “Partnering with EFE allows us to extend that impact even further, helping women in the MENA region access the tools they need to step into their power, just like our clients do every day.”

Together, EFE and DALYA NYC are making a lasting impact in the MENA region by equipping women and youth with the tools to build careers, achieve financial independence, and drive change in their communities.
