In the sprawling slums of Cairo and other cities, certain
families that have lost their bread earner are
forced to confront a staggering reality: they have no
way of earning an income. If our citizens are to become
active contributors to Egypt’s development and
advancement, they must be spared constant worry
about where to get their next meal or income.
For this reason, we at ARTOC support successful
initiatives such as the Food Bank, which serves
those in Egypt’s most underprivileged areas. In
addition to supporting the Food Bank, ARTOC
distributes food supplies to an average of |
|
3,000 families a month plus over 75,000 meals during
the holy month of Ramadan. ARTOC also supports
the mobilization of immediate support in
more urgent situations arising from natural disasters.
Most recently, during the aftermath of the
deadly rockslide in the Al-Doweiqa area, we at
ARTOC provided medical and food assistance
to those whose homes were destroyed.
Working with other NGOs and the Government,
ARTOC continues its support programs
of emergency aid and assistance in the face of calamities
and natural disasters.
