Al-Futtaim Real Estate, owner and operator of Cairo Festival City and Cairo Festival City Mall, proudly announces its annual Ramadan initiative—for the fifth year in a row—in partnership with the Egyptian Food Bank. This year, the initiative will support 10,600 individuals through the donation, packing, and distribution of Ramadan boxes across Cairo, Giza, and Al-Qalyubia governorates.

As a community-driven effort, the food packing initiative brought together residents and employees, fostering a spirit of unity and collective giving during the holy month of Ramadan. This annual initiative underscores Cairo Festival City’s commitment to ‘Humanity’, a key pillar of its CSR platform ‘Festival Cares’, reaffirming its dedication to community empowerment and social responsibility. Cairo Festival City and Cairo Festival City Mall remain steadfast in building meaningful partnerships that create lasting positive impact, driven by a deep-rooted belief in the power of giving back.

Beyond Ramadan, Cairo Festival City continues to lead impactful initiatives through its CSR platform, “Festival Cares”. In partnership with Misr Al-Kheir Foundation, it helped renovate and equip community schools, improve housing conditions, and launch educational projects in Manshaat Al-Dahab in Minya. It has also supported the healthcare sector by contributing to the bone marrow unit at Children’s Cancer Hospital 57357 and fully funding a medically equipped room in partnership with Ahl Masr Foundation.
