Across Egypt's poorest villages, thousands face harsh winters without proper clothing or blankets. Over 40% of families can't afford essential winter items, putting children and the elderly at risk of cold-related illnesses. The Egyptian Clothing Bank's "Warmth for Every Family" campaign aims to support 50,000 underprivileged families with winter clothing and bedding, ensuring protection, dignity, and respect for cultural identity.
Winter poses a serious humanitarian threat in Egypt's border and impoverished rural regions.Studies and field assessments show that: Temperatures in some border governorates drop below 5C,especially during the late-night hours. One in three children in poor rural areas suffer from winter-related respiratory infections. Winter-related respiratory infections increase by 30-35% in communities lacking warm clothing and blankets. Absence of children rises as many lack proper winter clothing
The ECB will distribute 50,000 complete Winter Family Boxes tailored to the needs of families living in border and underserved areas. Family Winter Box Includes: 1 Thick Blanket 1 Men's Complete Winter Set 1 Women's Shawl + Abaya 2 Children's Winter Tracksuits Full Family Pack of Winter Socks All items are produced through ECB's sustainable, circular model, which repurposes textiles and empowers women through employment in local production workshops.
