Efforts to support local development
This week, Dr. Maya Morsi, “Minister of Social Solidarity,” opened the Al Khair Island exhibition, which presents a living model of how to employ the social economy to support local development.

In a context that reflects the Ministry’s commitment to the goals of equality and non-discrimination, the Minister’s congratulations to the Egyptian Special Olympics champions after they won the “3×3 Unified Basketball World Cup” championship, thus highlighting the developmental role of sport in empowering women and girls.
This sporting achievement also supports efforts to achieve the sustainable development goal related to good health and well-being, and also highlights the pivotal role of families in building self-confidence in girls, so that they become shining models of the ability to compete globally, in harmony with the vision of the national agenda “Egypt Vision 2030”, the axes of which the Ministry of Social Solidarity is working to achieve under the leadership of Dr. Maya Morsi.
Strengthening governance and raising work efficiencyInstitutional
In the context of raising the efficiency of institutions, Dr. Maya Morsi works to support institutional development; Therefore, it honored the employees of the vacant estates, real estate, and legal affairs sectors at Nasser Social Bank, in appreciation of their distinguished efforts that resulted in important financial gains.
This well-deserved honor comes after the success of these two sectors in selling real estate assets transferred to the bank for a value exceeding half a billion pounds, as well as removing encroachments on other properties representing a value exceeding one billion pounds. Which supports the sustainability of the bank’s resources and enhances its role in social financing.
This honor also comes within a monthly evaluation mechanism that the Ministry intends to circulate, with the aim of establishing standards of governance and transparency, and raising the efficiency of institutional performance, which are principles that are consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to building strong and effective institutions, such as Goal No. (16) Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
From an analytical perspective,The Earth Guards Foundation believes that the recent efforts of Dr. Maya Morsi – from supporting handicrafts, economic empowerment, and supporting girls in the field of sports – reflect a gradual model towards building a solidarity system more capable of facing economic and social challenges.
Therefore,The Foundation recommends the necessity of doubling investments in social financing tools, supporting women and girls, and integrating them into economic empowerment efforts and efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); In order to build a more sustainable life for current and future generations.
