Based on the belief that every Egyptian has the right to a healthy house, Hope to reach a significant housing need. Willing to serve families did not have the minimum monthly income needed to repay the loans. To solve this problem, the Poorest of the Poor Initiative was developed in 2006.
The goal of this initiative is to make new homes available to those without means of repayment, and to increase awareness, involvement, and collaboration. It requires community organizations to raise funds beyond those provided by Habitat Egypt.
Habitat Egypt has agreed with their local partners to allocate 7 percent of annual housing through non-refundable grants to those families and individuals living in the country’s poorest places. The success of this program has motivated some donors to allocate a fair part of their donations to serving this disadvantaged group.
2083 homes have been built for the poorest of the poor.
