Commitments we can deliver, not slogans we can print.
Women build, lead and teach at Digisoul — starting with our cofounder and Managing Director. This page holds our Women Empowerment programme the same way we hold every claim on this site: named mechanisms, honest status labels, and numbers only once they are measured.
Each item below is labelled Active (true today) or Commitment (announced here, delivery underway). Nothing is backdated, and no participation counts are published until verified.
One of Digisoul's three cofounders — and the executive who runs scoping, governance and delivery through to client outcomes — is a woman, with a decade-plus in B2B business development across MENA and North America. Gender diversity at Digisoul starts in the operating leadership, not in a policy annex. Meet the leadership →
What we actually do — and how to hold us to it.
Scholarship seats for women, in every paid AI4X cohort
We reserve two full-scholarship seats for women in every paid AI4X cohort we run, allocated on application. Free seats in a live, instructor-led professional programme — not a discount code.
Free, bilingual AI education — open to every woman, everywhere
The AI4X Fundamentals self-paced courses are free, bilingual, and open without gatekeeping — and the Diwan AI community is free with no paid tier. For women navigating career re-entry, caregiving constraints, or first steps into AI, self-paced and free is what access actually looks like.
A women's chapter inside Diwan AI
A dedicated women-in-AI track inside our free community: peer support, member spotlights (with permission, as always), and sessions led by women practitioners — building the visible role models MENA AI still lacks.
Women's financial inclusion, built into LoanOS
Our governed AI lending OS is designed with sex-disaggregated portfolio views, fairness monitoring on scoring, and reporting aligned to gender-lens frameworks — so the NBFIs we serve can measure and narrow the inclusion gap, not just describe it.
We use the standards investors use, with their words, not ours.
We assess Digisoul against the 2X Criteria — leadership, employment, and products & services that advance gender equity — and we are building the sex-disaggregated baseline data that framework requires. We publish threshold results when measured, and we use the term "assessed against", never "2X qualified", which only 2X Challenge members can confer.
WEPs signature requires a minimum of ten employees. Our commitment is public: when Digisoul reaches the eligibility threshold, the CEO signs the WEPs Statement of Support — joining the community of Egyptian companies embedding the seven principles.
Our programme is aligned with the direction of Egypt's National Strategy for the Empowerment of Egyptian Women 2030 and the MCIT-led push for women's digital skills. Where we name ecosystem initiatives, it is as context — we claim no partnership we do not have, and label any future one "in discussion" until signed.
In Egyptian lending, women are the majority of borrowers — and the minority of value.
Women's financial inclusion in Egypt has risen sharply — yet the shape of lending still tells a gap story. That gap is measurable from a lender's own governed records, which is exactly where our products work.
Women make up the majority of Egypt's microfinance borrowers by count, but received 46.1% of financing value in Q4 2024 — a quantified gap a governed lending system can help lenders measure, report, and narrow.
