The wellbeing of women is one of the different areas in which the Koz Kazah Foundation invests. It attends to all their psychological, social, and economic needs. The institution concerned with special age group ranging from 25 to 45-year-old women. The institution believes in the significant role played by women in our contemporary society. Women are mothers. They are the source of care and affection in the family. Many studies have shown that a child in his early stage needs attention rather than physical matters. Mothers meet this urgent need and help their children to become normal and effective members of the society.
Most women in Egyptian households now contribute in the economic aspect of the family and in many cases, women have become the only breadwinners. On the political level, in recent years, women have had significant opportunities to lead and contribute to the political process, whether they are voters, officials or ministers.
