Majid Al Futtaim has set up donation funds for the Egyptian Red Crescent in all branches of Carrefour Egypt to collect cash donations, which will be dedicated to supporting Red Crescent efforts in areas including health services, sterilization, psychosocial support, and distribution of food boxes.

This initiative comes in the belief of the company of the great role played by the medical staff in Egypt and their interminable dedication to saving lives.

The company has also provided a number of Ramadan balls to support employees of Sen 9, which produces Carrefour brand environmentally friendly bags, which train and employ low-income people.
Majid Al Futtaim's support also extends to day-to-day workers whose business escrow has been affected by the current health and economic situation in Egypt, where the company has announced its contribution to the "Support for Everyday Labor Responsibility" initiative from the Egyptian Food Bank. Carrefour offers its customers the opportunity to donate while shopping through the Carrefour online store where they can donate two Ramadan or five pounds and Carrefour will collect and double donations in support of the initiative.
