The MoU was signed by Ms. Ghada Tawfik, Sub-Governor of the CBE for Corporate Social Responsibility, and Ms. Ohoud Wafi, Chairperson of “Hayah Karima” Foundation’s Board of Trustees, at the premises of the CBE.
This comes in light of the CBE’s unwavering commitment to advancing society and strengthening partnerships with relevant stakeholders to enhance citizens’ welfare. Under the MoU, efforts will be coordinated to implement integrated social development initiatives, aiming to improve living conditions and achieve Egypt’s Vision 2030.
In this regard, the CBE will actively engage in volunteering activities organized by the Foundation through its employees, supporting initiatives of mutual interest.
This approach aligns with the objectives of volunteering, which aim to empower individuals to actively participate in development, strengthen social equality, foster solidarity among segments of society, and promote values of compassion, commitment, and responsibility.
It also underscores the significance of this partnership as a foundation for an integrated model that simultaneously combines social development with the optimal use of human resources, reflecting the capacity of national institutions to create a meaningful and sustainable impact on citizens’ lives.
In the same context, the CBE launched a parallel initiative, “Together We Make an Impact,” to deepen the concept of institutional volunteering within the banking sector, recognizing it as a cornerstone of sustainable social development.
The initiative aims to promote a culture of volunteerism among banking sector employees, and to channel their potentials into effective tools that create a tangible impact on societal development and progress.
