The bank's support to this programme comes in line with the goals set by the Ministry to spread the concept of comprehensive awareness of people with special needs and introduce them as a productive and creative category in the society, provided that they have the right platform.
The programme aims at focusing on small projects that provide opportunities to this special category in order to help them be independent, develop their productive skills, improve their standard of living, and create a new income source. The programme also targets people of low income who wish to work in such projects on the long run and who have the ability to manage them.
