Ataa Charitable Investment Fund for Supporting Persons with Disabilities continues its support for the Residential Care Home for Blind Elderly Women following the success of the previous two phases.
The Ataa Charitable Investment Fund for Supporting Persons with Disabilities announced the continuation of its support for the Residential Care Home for Blind Elderly Women operated by the Al-Nour Wal Amal Association, following the successful completion of the first two phases of the funding project.
In this context, Ms. Amira El-Refaie, Executive Director of Ataa Fund, signed a protocol to implement the third phase with Ms. Salwa Mohamed Fouad El-Sioufi, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Al-Nour Wal Amal Association for the Care of the Blind.
Ms. Amira El-Refaie, Executive Director of Ataa Fund, stated that this continued support represents an extension of the Fund’s efforts to care for and improve the quality of life of blind elderly women residing at the care home.
The third phase builds on the achievements of the previous two phases by strengthening existing outcomes, enhancing staff efficiency, expanding social, psychological, and recreational activities, and ensuring the sustainability of services through the development and improvement of the home’s organizational structure.
The total number of women who benefited from the home’s services throughout the project period reached 42 blind elderly women.
This phase aims to continue supporting and financing the care home by further improving the quality of services provided, ensuring a safe environment and a dignified life for blind elderly women who are unable to care for themselves.
It also includes the implementation of diverse social and recreational programs tailored to the residents’ needs, contributing to improved psychological and social well-being.
In addition, specialized psychological and social support services will be delivered through assessment and counseling programs, individual and group therapy sessions, and partnerships with professional mental health institutions.
The phase will also activate the home’s volunteer program and enhance staff capacity through specialized training programs focused on psychological and social care, as well as effective communication with blind elderly women.
It is worth noting that Ataa is the first charitable investment fund established in Egypt, with a dedicated focus on supporting persons with disabilities.
One of the key advantages of the charitable investment fund model is ensuring sustainable funding, as expenditures are made from investment returns rather than the principal capital.
The model also ensures a clear separation between funding allocation and the implementation of charitable and social projects, in addition to the management of the Fund’s investment portfolio by a specialized company licensed by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA)—all of which enhances oversight and strengthens the Fund’s overall performance.
Investment in good causes through purchasing certificates of the Ataa Charitable Investment Fund for Supporting Persons with Disabilities is available to individuals, companies, and other legal entities through branches of several Egyptian commercial banks, in addition to Nasser Social Bank.
