Many families in Egypt are struggling in their everyday lives to meet their basic needs. While Egypt has technically succeeded in eradicating extreme levels of poverty, many sectors of the Egyptian society still face many complications in securing their day-to-day needs. Given such a challenging context, GFD provides members of marginalized communities with food packages and school bags for their children in order to alleviate some of the burdens they are enduring and to support them in meeting their most basic needs. Simultaneously, to achieve sustainable impact, GFD works on linking these struggling families to ongoing or upcoming projects that will support them towards becoming more self-reliant and economically empowered through long term innovative solutions. By engaging disenfranchised communities in our projects, we ensure that our beneficiaries are not only receiving short term assistance, but building their capacities and skills to allow for them to excel and earn more for their families and to develop their communities.
