When friends to good because they have themselves done well: Our friends at SODIC have signed a EGP 1 mn agreement with Greater Cairo Water Company to connect 1,000 underprivileged homes to the fresh water network in Ezzbet Khair Allah, the company said in a statement (pdf). The project, which is fully funded by SODIC, will also include the installation of a fire-fighting network as well as vocational training in the construction and installation of water and wastewater connections. The project will also employ youth in the collection of water tariffs and create water consumption awareness programs in the schools of Ezzbet Khairallah. “At SODIC, our CSR initiatives focusing on education and rehabilitation, impact the lives of over 7,000 families every year,” said SODIC chief Magued Sherif. “The first phase of the fresh water project in Ezzbet Khair Allah will benefit more than 1,000 families.”
