Collaborative Upgrading of Public Space in Al-Asmarat

About the Project

  

In collaboration with the local community, BENAA Foundation has successfully revitalized the corridor in Asmarat district in 2024. By employing eco-friendly materials and sustainable construction methods, we designed benches and shaded structures that harmonize with the natural environment. Additionally, to combat rising temperatures and enhance environmental quality, we incorporated fruit-bearing trees, which will provide both ecological benefits and future yields for residents. It has been deeply rewarding to observe the community embracing these improvements whether individuals pausing to rest during their walks or families gathering outdoors to connect. 

This initiative was organized by Habitat for Humanity International and implemented by the BENAA Foundation, in partnership with the Makanuna Placemaking Initiative, the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT), and the Urban Development Fund (UDF) under Egypt’s government. The project successfully engaged over 2,500 direct beneficiaries, while also providing training and participation opportunities for 35 women and 25 children.

Location: Asmarat, Cairo.

Partner: Habitat for Humanity, UDF, Makanuna
