In the presence of Matrouh Governor Major General Magdi Al-Gharabli, Emaar Misr has announced, in cooperation with Misr El-Kheir Foundation, the completion of the first phase of Beyout Al Kheir initiative and the delivery of the last housing units in Alamein City in Matrouh governorate to all those eligible.
The completed first phase included the renovation and restoration of over 1,000 houses and the creation of 500 income-generating projects for the most underprivileged families in four governorates; Matrouh, Beheira, Aswan, and Qena. The project was underway in 10 centers in these governorates, with each center comprising an average of five villages, to solidify Emaar Misr’s social responsibility role by offering decent housing units and creating jobs and income-generating projects to enhance the living conditions of the most underprivileged families. The project commenced following the signing of the cooperation protocol between Misr El-Kheir Foundation, Emaar Misr for Development, and the Ministry of Social Solidarity in September 2018.
The execution of the first phase included many villages in Beheira governorate’s Kom Hamada and Badr centers, spanning a total number of 17 villages. In Matrouh governorate, work was underway in villages in Al Alamein and Al Rewaysat centers. While in Aswan, the first phase targeted Kom Umbu Center and four villages in Deraw center and in Qena governorate, work was concentrated in three centers; Dandarah, Nagaa Hammadi, and Dishna, with a total of 23 villages in Qena.
The initiative included the creation of safe homes through casting concrete roofs in all houses instead of their previous roofs made of hay, straw and newspapers, in addition to the comprehensive renovation of all houses as well as building 821 toilets and rehabilitating all toilets for each house.
Electricity works were also implemented in all houses and internal electricity networks were built for 465 homes, in addition to carrying out doors and windows carpentry for 425 houses as well as performing other carpentry works and paintworks according to need.
Cement mortar works were also carried out for walls and ceilings in the majority of homes and the insides of all houses were painted with economic paints that match the preferences of homeowners, in addition to a unified cement paint for the exteriors of all houses, unique to each governorate. Economic ceramics were also installed in houses to guarantee a healthy and safe environment, with all houses renovated in the project not exceeding 60 m².
Beyout Al Kheir Project was not only limited to creating safe homes, but it also incorporated income-generating projects for the most underprivileged families, empowering over 500 rural women and youth who are skilled in poultry farming and who met the project’s technical conditions, with the aims of enhancing the economic levels of their families. The beneficiaries were selected based on conditions and criteria that guarantee the optimum use of their energies, resources, and ideas to enable them to make profits and integrate into the market.
The project enables each beneficiary to receive 120 laying poultry, a hutch to house them, an air hood, and a cooling cell to ensure maintaining an optimum temperature for the project to succeed, in addition to providing around half a ton of poultry feed to jump start the beneficiary’s production process and reap profits.
