Uber believes it can do more. Egypt's capital Cairo, with historically high unemployment, is one of Uber's fastest-growing cities. Uber is now enabling up to 3,000 additional small business owners every month – and more than 40% of them were previously unemployed. With local charitable organisations, the company launched an economic empowerment programme to provide Egyptians with the resources and education needed to become drivers – with a focus on young people and women. In a country in which 99.3% of women say they have been sexually harassed including 57% by taxi and bus drivers, Uber also supports mandatory antisexual harassment education in partnership with Cairo-based anti-sexual harassment nonprofit organisation HarassMap. Entrepreneurship is flourishing across the continent, but access to vehicle finance remains a challenge. Which is why it introduced the Vehicle Solutions Programme in SA. Thanks to its partnership with WesBank, it has created lowcost access to vehicles to the value of R100m.
