The CIB Foundation, the bank’s non-profit organization, has signed a financing agreement with Hand-in-Hand, non-profit organization, which aims to help improve the overall quality of life of the amputee population in Egypt. This agreement will enable Hand-in-Hand to provide artificial limbs to over 400 Egyptian amputee children.
