The initiative, launched by the "Tahya Misr" Fund, took place over five days and involved various community-focused projects. Key activities included providing a comprehensive medical caravan that offers free health screenings and treatment across multiple specialities.

The caravan also provided essential services, such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, laboratory tests, and X-rays, facilitating necessary medical referrals to ensure adequate healthcare access for citizens.

Additionally, the initiative addressed basic needs by distributing essential goods and supporting the "Joy Shop" initiative, which prepares vulnerable girls for marriage through clothing exhibitions and necessary supplies. This multifaceted approach aims to enhance social protection and improve living conditions for community members.

Further demonstrating its commitment to inclusivity, the event launched the "Best Friend" initiative to raise awareness about obtaining the Integrated Services Card for individuals with disabilities.

The initiative also provided a significant number of Braille materials and other resources tailored to meet the needs of this community.
