Empowering 50 Girls with Supplies and Comfort: EGP 31,000 Invested in
Al-Damir Al-Hayy Girls’ House

On Saturday, September 20, 2025, under this year’s inspiring theme,
“Step Up & Lead by Example,” we embraced the spirit of solidarity
and compassion as we welcomed a new academic year full of promising
opportunities for growth and success.

The IWC of New Cairo , under the dedicated and compassionate leadership
of Ms. Rania Al-Kashef, generously provided all essential school
supplies—including notebooks, pens, flasks, and lunch boxes—for the
brave and resilient girls of Al-Damir Al-Hayy Girls’ House in El Haram,
investing EGP 10,000 to support and brighten their educational journey.

We sincerely hope that these courageous young girls enjoy a school year
filled with achievement, happiness, and lasting success.

In a further act of care, the club also purchased 50 sets of bed sheets
and pillows for the same home. This initiative aimed to enhance the
living conditions and nurture the overall environment, at a cost of EGP
21,000.

To reinforce the importance of supporting charitable organizations
sponsored by Inner Wheel clubs, the bed sets were purchased from the
Bright Tomorrow Association, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to
uplifting those in need while also promoting high-quality products made
by local charitable initiatives.

On Friday, April 4, 2025, under the inspiring theme “Heartbeat of Humanity”, the Inner Wheel Club of New Cairo (e-Club), led by Ms. Lina Shaker, along with the valued participation of Ms. Nihal Al-Bakri, Ms. Rania Al-Kashef, and Ms. Manuela Al-Wakil, organized a heartwarming day for 110 children and young people from the Safwat Al-Hayat and Ersam Farha associations.

The group enjoyed a memorable trip to Gero Land Amusement Park, where the children experienced a day of pure joy, laughter, and invaluable psychological and social support — turning a long-held dream into a beautiful reality.

The club thoughtfully prepared a range of gifts tailored to various age groups, from 2 to 20 years old, and provided a delicious lunch for everyone to enjoy during their time at the park.

Heartfelt gratitude is extended to all the generous donors and dedicated volunteers whose kindness and support made this event possible. Special thanks are owed to Ms. Sherine Arafa, President of the Inner Wheel Club of Nasr City, for her instrumental role in securing reduced ticket prices, allowing a greater number of children to participate in this day of happiness and cherished memories.
