Sharjah24 - WAM: The number of orphans sponsored by the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) in 20 governorates in the Arab Republic of Egypt has reached 8,365 orphans, and the value of orphan sponsorship programs in Egypt since its establishment until now has reached over AED219 million.
The figures were released after an ERC delegation paid a working visit to Egypt, during which it was briefed on the humanitarian conditions of sponsored orphans and followed up on their humanitarian, health, social and educational conditions.
This visit came as confirmation of the ERC’s keenness to enhance communication with orphans outside the country, constantly inspect their humanitarian conditions, and identify their necessary needs in all fields. The ERC works in coordination with some humanitarian partners and local organisations in Egypt to expand the umbrella of orphan sponsorship programs there and provide greater care for them and their care providers.
