SODIC and Tawasol for Developing Istabl Antar NGO celebrate 10 years of creating scalable impact in education and community development in Ezbet Khairallah district, Invest-Gate reports.
For over ten years SODIC has been supporting Tawasol in the management of a community school for children who had escaped schooling through an integrated community development approach.
The school provides children with an education and vocational and performing arts training, in addition to acting as a community hub where community members produce handmade products that Tawasol markets and sells, generating revenues for the community.
Over the past decade, SODIC has contributed to changing the lives of over 650 beneficiaries by covering school expenses and contributing to the purchase of the land plot for the construction of the school.
The new school is built over 1,050 sqm with a capacity to host over 500 students, finished and equipped at international school standards.
“The impact of the school goes beyond the children, who have become self-actualized through Tawasol’s strong and empowering program that builds their character, acumen, and confidence,” Ayman Amer, SODIC’s General Manager, states.
