What began as a grassroots, pioneering concept of Mrs. Betty Atherton, wife of the American Ambassador to Egypt, in cooperation with foreign companies, over 25 years ago, has evolved into a multi-faceted service organization that assists expatriates in their adjustment to life in Egypt and supports them to enjoy their experience here – in short, a home away from home.
Rooted in this tradition, the Community Services Association (CSA) is an integral part of the international expatriate community in Greater Cairo with a mission to foster a sense of community among the international expatriate community living and working in Egypt so that they can make a positive contribution to themselves, their families, employers and local society.
Today, CSA presents 100’s of programs each year, hosts over 85 nationalities, and provides daily support in a quiet, uplifting place.
