The Egyptian government has initiated a review of data for families eligible for the "Sakan Karim" initiative, a housing program aimed at providing affordable housing for low-income families. According to Ayman Abdel Mowoud, the acting spokesperson for the Ministry of Social Solidarity, the initiative is being implemented in coordination with various ministries and entities. The Ministry of Social Solidarity is working on different files related to the initiative, which is part of the larger "Hayat Karima" (Dignified Life) program.
The "Sakan Karim" initiative is being implemented by civil society organizations, which are working closely with the government to achieve the goals of sustainable development. Abdel Mowoud explained that there is coordination with the Ministries of Finance, Planning, and Local Development to review the data of families eligible for the services provided under the initiative. The review process is being carried out through two main channels: the first is through civil society organizations that conduct reviews and evaluations of families, and the second is in cooperation with the Ministry of Local Development and local units.
The review process aims to identify the most eligible families for the initiative, with data being reviewed through the "Takaful and Karama" system, which is under the auspices of the Ministry of Social Solidarity. Abdel Mowoud emphasized that the initiative is part of a broader effort to provide support to low-income families and improve their living conditions. The "Hayat Karima" program is a comprehensive initiative that aims to improve the quality of life for citizens, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
The issue of elderly care has also seen significant developments in Egypt, with the government issuing a new law, Law No. 19 of 2024, which focuses on the rights and care of the elderly. Additionally, the National Strategy for Elderly Care and the Elderly Care Fund have been established to provide support and services to this demographic. Abdel Mowoud noted that the Ministry of Social Solidarity is coordinating with various ministries to provide a range of services to the elderly.
The Ministry of Social Solidarity has a significant role in providing care and services to the elderly, with over 2,011 elderly care homes under its supervision. These homes are subject to regular monitoring and evaluation by the ministry to ensure that they meet the required standards. Abdel Mowoud emphasized that the ministry is committed to providing the best possible care for the elderly.
The "Sakan Karim" initiative is part of a broader effort to address the housing needs of low-income families in Egypt. The initiative aims to provide affordable housing options for those who need them most. The review process is an important step in ensuring that the initiative reaches its intended beneficiaries.
