Social Solidarity Sector
Orphans
are considered among the neediest segments of society, requiring both
educational, psychological, and social care to help them integrate into society
and overcome the conditions of orphanhood and the loss of their families. We
define orphans as children have lost one or both parents
The
Child’s Law guarantees the principles and rights of childhood, among which are
Article 4:
“The
child’s right to life, survival, and growth under the protection of a cohesive
and interdependent family, and to all protective measures, and protection from
all types of violence or harm or physical, psychological, or sexual abuse or
negligence, or any other form of maltreatment or exploitation.”
According
to a UNICEF survey from 2006, the number of orphaned children in the world is
more than 150 million. Orphan children constitute about 5% of the population,
and as such constitute a significant number of the Egyptian population.
Approximately 43,000 orphans are counted in Egypt annually. This is partially
due to the increase in the number of breadwinning women, whereby a third of
society is supported by women breadwinners. According to figures from the
Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) the rate of
women supporting their families ranges between 22% and 26%, and in Cairo alone,
it is 19.2%.
Despite
the role that society should play in supporting these children and their
mothers, there is nonetheless a clear deficiency in providing care to this
children amid the weakness of the role played by the state and institutions.
While such institutions should be providing support in all its forms, more
often than not, the support provided, if any, is limited to financial support.
The
activities undertaken in the realm of social solidarity vary, including:
- TheAl-Manara Project in support of orphaned children and breadwinning women(Manarat Al-Basateen, Dar Al-Salam, Arab Maadi)
- Sponsorshipproject for 50 families in Dewei’a, in collaboration with Gannat ElKhuloodCharity Association
- Providingorphans’ requirements for holidays and the academic year
- Orphan’sDay celebrations
- Monthlysponsorship for orphans and breadwinning women
- Warmthin Winter Campaign
- Banque Misr Foundation for Community Development signs cooperation protocol with Gannat El Khulood Charity Association to train 300 families in slum area
