From the heart of Menoufia.. Economic empowerment of the youth of Takaful families
Economic empowerment, in the balance of reason and experience, is not a favor that is granted, but rather a right that is taken, and at the same time a means to live a decent life, especially if we are talking about young people who have the responsibility of building the nation in light of a volatile world in which social and economic challenges abound, and in which the need for comprehensive development solutions that restore balance to societies increases.
Hence comes the importance of initiatives that embody the partnership between the public sector and civil society, where policies are transformed into a tangible reality that opens horizons of hope for the most needy groups, and rebuilds confidence in the state’s ability to care for its children. Among the most prominent of these efforts is the first employment forum in Menoufia Governorate. For the economic empowerment of the youth of Takaful families, under the umbrella of integration and constructive cooperation.
