The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomed $500,000 contribution from EFG-Hermes Foundation to support the education of thousands of vulnerable children in Egypt by providing them with take-home rations of food. The donation will be used to support children engaged in or at risk of engaging in exploitative child labour, as well as children who are enrolled in community schools with a special emphasis on girls' education. Take-home rations of food will be purchased for approximately 9,250 children in the four governorates of Sohag, Beni Sweif, Assiut, and Red Sea.
