Published 02 May,2021 via Daily News Egypt - Egypt’s Minister of Social Solidarity Nevine El-Kabbaj announced, on Sunday, that her ministry is currently studying further conditions to obtain financial support through the Takaful and Karama programme to help prevent underage marriage among girls.
The conditions aim to provide social protection for girls aged under 18, ensuring the health of the mother and children.
El-Kabbaj added that Egypt is keen to invest in people, starting from the first 1,000 days in a child’s life and early childhood. This includes the provision of healthcare and goes on to ensure each child’s enrolment in schools, as well as improving home life through the “Decent Housing” initiative.
