Egypt

According to the World Bank, 26% of Egypt’s population lives in poverty while 49% of those living in Upper Egypt cannot provide for their basic needs of food and shelter. For the nearly one-third of Egyptians living in poverty, and the millions more in poor conditions, the country’s current economic difficulty means life is much harder with many struggling to put food on the table.

The country has witnessed significant political and economic changes since 2011. Through this transition, which includes periods of political unrest, the main income sources of the economy have been negatively impacted, particularly in the tourism sector, as well as revenues from the Suez Canal, oil and remittances from Egyptians working abroad.

Salesian-run educational and social development services give hope to youth and their families living in poverty throughout the country.
