Vodafone was the first and one of the biggest partners for AYB-SD. In 2006 and until this moment, Vodafone has been partnering with AYB-SD in the Youth Leadership Initiative (YLI), which carries out trainings for youth in various universities. In 2007, Vodafone donated 10 computers for AYB-SD computer lab in Ain El Sira. In 2009, AYB-SD partnered with Vodafone in the execution of one of its major CSR programs named ‘Qariaty’.
IYF contributed with the first institutional grant to AYB-SD in 2007. The grant was given for a project named ‘One Stop Shop’, which is about making the Youth Centers in Egypt a place where youth can gather to get trainings, employment opportunities, and gain knowledge about various topics. In addition, IYF recently selected Raghda El Ebrashi – AYB-SD Founder and Chairperson – among its board members.
Drosos is one of the recent partners for AYB-SD and the biggest partner as well. Drosos contributed to the expansion of the training programs of AYB-SD in marginalized communities, as well as the establishment of AYB-SD employment office. The partnership should last in three years (from 2009 till 2011).
