Chemist Hesham Riyad emphasized the importance of ETHYDCO’s economic role in addition to its social responsibility efforts, which align with the Corporate Social Responsibility strategy of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. He pointed out that supporting and caring for people of determination is a priority, and that the center represents a model of integration between the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Social Solidarity, and civil society, community, and volunteer organizations.

The operation and management of the center has been assigned by the Directorate of Social Solidarity to the Youth 2030 Development Foundation, within an institutional framework that reflects the state’s vision of involving governmental bodies, youth, and civil society in addressing the needs of people of determination. This contributes to achieving Egypt’s vision of building an inclusive society founded on the principles of social justice and comprehensive development.
