Lamiaa Eid
Founder & Director

I’m an educator, researcher, and community builder who loves bringing people together across cultures. My journey has taught me the power of dialogue, diversity, and collaboration, and I’m passionate about reimagining education to break barriers. Creating Café Without Borders is my way of following that passion — a step toward my goal of building inclusive spaces where learning, connection, and belonging are possible for everyone. I’m endlessly curious, always exploring new ideas, listening to stories, and finding the threads that bring us closer together.

I am a lady who loves to spread positivity, invest in personal and collective growth, and make a positive impact in people’s lives.

I believe that knowledge is power, but sharing this knowledge with others is even more powerful!

Mohamed Armoush
Operations Manager

I’m a Mechatronics student with a passion for innovation, collaboration, and building meaningful connections across cultures. Through my experiences—whether it’s organizing events, managing teams, or working on hands-on engineering projects—I’ve learned the importance of vision, empathy, and creating spaces where everyone feels included. With Café Without Borders, I hope to help create a platform where people can meet, share knowledge, and inspire each other to think globally while acting locally.
