Greenish was co-founded in 2017 by two friends Shady and Medhat to empower communities around Egypt to solve their most pressing environmental challenges. Greenish lead many projects, and worked with local, governmental and international partners. One of Greenish' latest projects is working in five governorates to deliver a four days long training of trainers program to environmental activists in
addition to hands-on training on building an environmental campaign. This project was successful,with 60% of trainees started collaborating together to start their own initiatives and projects in less than 6 month creating change on a local level, and allowed Greenish to test their approach and content which has been later used as the basis for the Greenish Educational Manual. The Greenish Educational Manual is the first Arabic environmental manual in the MENA region. The Manual is a product of one of Greenish’ key ongoing achievements, Greenish Clubs. Greenish Clubs is a platform designed by Greenish to provide university and school students the proper tools to engage in the environmental narrative within their respective communities. Within the Greenish Clubs network of students, the club members can also meet and interact with others who are passionate and interested in environmental sustainability as well as engage their peers in their educational institution to further broaden the network of environmentally literate individuals. Greenish environmental clubs are now established in 26 educational institutions around Egypt reaching more than 2000 students raising their environmental awareness on the most pressing issues facing the Egyptian society and are also encouraged to take action on environmental and climate change issues in their schools, universities, and in their communities.
