The project aims to improve the living conditions of thousands of eligible poor families across Egypt. The first phase of the project includes developing 1,000 units and providing 500 projects for low-income families.

In 2019, Emaar Misr donated EGP 905.7m, the largest donation by a company listed on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX), to Egypt to support development and social projects across the country. The company has directed EGP 878m for national projects in Egypt, of which EGP 23.3m went to the Boyout El Kheir project last year.
