<p>Baheya is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the early detection and treatment of breast cancer, with a mission to eliminate the disease by becoming the regional leader in this field. Central to its work is raising awareness about breast cancer and advancing women’s health overall. The foundation’s vision is to be the premier destination for women’s health and safety, offering comprehensive care and support.</p>



<p>At the heart of this mission is Baheya Hospital, a fully integrated medical facility specializing in breast cancer prevention, early detection, and advanced treatment. The hospital provides cutting-edge medical care alongside psychological support, ensuring holistic treatment for women at every stage of their journey. Designed to serve over 500,000 women annually, the facility includes operating rooms, patient residence rooms, and an emergency department, solidifying its position as a center of excellence in breast cancer care across Egypt and the Middle East.</p>



<p>Since 2022, Mansour has been a proud financial supporter of Baheya Hospital, with commitments extending through 2025. This partnership has enabled the establishment of key facilities, including a large waiting room, medical examination clinic, intensive care unit, and therapeutic catheter recovery room, further enhancing the hospital’s capacity to deliver exceptional care.</p>

<p>In 2024 and 2025, we continued our successful collaboration with Kheir We Baraka NGO to deliver the Read, Write, and Math Program, which strengthens foundational literacy and numeracy skills for primary school students. The program not only enhances performance in core subjects but also equips students with the essential abilities to utilize diverse learning resources effectively. Structured to run over 4 to 6 months, the program consists of 100 sessions, evenly divided between 50 sessions for reading and writing and 50 sessions for math.</p>



<p>Building on the achievements of 2023, we expanded the program in 2024 to an additional 300 students in Sohag, bringing the total reach in the governorate to 600 students. In 2025, our partnership extended to El-Minya Governorate, where we supported 420 students in public primary schools, further amplifying the program’s impact. To date, the initiative has reached 1,504 students and trained over 60 teachers, reinforcing sustainable progress in education.</p>

<p>The Mansour Company has collaborated with the Egyptian Clothing Bank to promote the culture of donation and contribute to reducing waste. The initiative aims to provide clothing to those in need and raise awareness among employees of the importance of sustainable practices. Clothing donation boxes have been placed in the company&#8217;s headquarters in Cairo and Alexandria, allowing employees to donate their unwanted clothes at any time throughout the entire year.</p>



<p>The initiative started in Ramadan 2022 as a trial, and the response from employees has been overwhelmingly positive. The company has successfully collected more than ten large bags of clothing donations from employees in its Cairo headquarters alone.</p>



<p>This initiative is part of the Mansour Company&#8217;s ongoing commitment to social responsibility and sustainability. By partnering with the Egyptian Clothing Bank, the company is promoting the reuse and recycling of clothes and helping those in need. It is also raising awareness among employees of the importance of responsible waste management and the positive impact that their small actions can have on the environment.</p>



<p>The Egyptian Clothing Bank is a non-profit organization that collects, sorts, and distributes clothing to those in need across the country. They work to promote social solidarity and environmental sustainability by encouraging people to donate their unwanted clothes instead of throwing them away. </p>

<p>The Wadi Gharba Community Centre, located 30 minutes drive from Mount Sinai in Saint Catherine’s protectorate, was developed by the Mansour Group in partnership with Hand Over, a local design and build company, and Catherine Exists, a community development initiative.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://mmd.mansourgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/PHOTO-2020-10-20-09-28-411-768x1024.jpg" alt="PHOTO 2020 10 20 09 28 411" class="wp-image-5572" title="Group Backs Project at Ancient Site (2020) 1" srcset="https://mmd.mansourgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/PHOTO-2020-10-20-09-28-411-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://mmd.mansourgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/PHOTO-2020-10-20-09-28-411-480x640.jpg 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 768px, 100vw" /></figure>



<p>The project aims to support and empower the local community by providing space for all ages of the community to interact and learn. The centre will host classes run by volunteers and will pursue income-generating activities&nbsp;for the local community. The center will also provide facilities for travelers to stay and learn about the local culture, attend classes conducted by locals, and volunteer in the local community activities.&nbsp; Volunteers and guests will have the opportunity to learn traditional Bedouin craftmanship from older members of the community and ensure that these ancient skills are passed down to future generations. The centre already provides vital medical services to residents of Saint Catherine.</p>



<p>The centre builds on the project’s first phase, which saw the construction of a clinic and a gallery in 2018.</p>

<p>Mr Youssef Mansour, [Co-Chair of the Mansour Group], said: <em>“We are very grateful for the opportunity to support this hugely important development and improve the lives of the people of St Catherine, an area blessed by its history, religion and culture that should be protected and preserved. We hope that the centre will continue to educate and support the local community for generations to come.”</em></p></div>

<p>Mansour Holdings is keen to instil the principle of volunteering among all the group&#8217;s employees, and therefore it participates in many events that involves the participation of its employees in social efforts and charitable initiatives.</p>



<p>The group works to diversify these initiatives to provide its employees with different opportunities and enable them to participate in accordance with their personal preferences and according to the specific skills they possess.</p>



<p>before the holy Month of Ramadan, the group strengthened its cooperation and worked alongside the Egyptian Food Bank to organize a volunteer initiative in which Mansour employees would spend the day at the Food Bank’s headquarters and help with the packaging of Ramadan bags and cartons that the Food Bank would then distribute amongst low income families during the holy month of Ramadan.</p>

<p>Al Mansour Holding adopted the project of saving energy through the transformation of LED lighting systems through the cooperation initiative between the group, the Ministry of Electricity and Energy, and the United Nations Development Program. The group had started implementing the initiative at the end of 2014 to cover all our Administration and Factory buildings in addition to our 23 warehouses across the nation and our 100 Supermarket stores in Metro, Mini Metro, Kheir Zaman, and Fresh Food Markets. By the end of 2016, the project was finalized in all our locations.</p>



<p>By the end of 2017, our overall energy consumption was reduced by approximately 30%, and it is expected that our electricity bills will also be reduced by a larger percentage in the following years with the increase in energy prices.</p>



<p>Total consumption was reduced from 91 million kilowatts in 2014 before the project started and in 2017 our overall consumption was reduced to 68 million kilowatts providing an overall reduction that equates to supplying energy annually for almost 15,000 homes.</p>

<p>Al Mansour Holding Company For Financial Investments started putting energy-saving mechanisms in place, and we have capitalized on our success in that area and have continued to push our offices and factories to become even more energy-efficient. We have worked with the UNDP and the Ministry of Electricity to study the benefits of replacing all our lighting with far more efficient LED lights. The study was conducted in two of our Metro Supermarket stores and resulted in an overall reduction of 30% in electricity usage during our tests. As a result, we have also finalized our transformation to LED lights in all our Administration and Factory buildings in addition to our 23 warehouses across the nation and our 90 Supermarket stores in Metro, Mini Metro, Kheir Zaman, and Fresh Food Markets as of December 2016. Hopefully, this will reflect in great savings on electricity in 2017.</p>
