Arab Finance: First Abu Dhabi Bank Misr (FABMISR) has launched its Green Schools for a Sustainable Future initiative, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Technical Education and Ain El Bee'ah Association for Environmental, Agricultural Services, and Sustainable Development, as per an emailed press release.
The launch is part of FABMISR's efforts to support Egypt’s transition toward a green economy and embed sustainability practices within public education.
The initiative will be implemented at Asmaa Secondary School for Girls, under the Maadi Educational Administration in Cairo, and adopts an integrated approach that combines environmental infrastructure, education, and community engagement.
It aligns with national priorities related to inclusive economic growth and environmental sustainability, while reinforcing the role of civil society organizations as key partners in development initiatives.
Under the project, the school will be equipped with a greywater treatment unit for irrigation powered by a solar energy system, alongside the development of a green area that includes tree planting supported by an integrated irrigation network.
Waste segregation units for organic and solid waste will also be distributed across the school to enhance resource management and help reduce carbon emissions.
In parallel, the initiative targets environmental awareness for around 3,500 students and 150 teachers through dedicated awareness programs.
The project is also expected to lower the site temperature by approximately four to five degrees Celsius, contributing to climate change mitigation efforts and creating a healthier learning environment for students and staff.
Through the initiative, FABMISR continues to advance its role as a responsible financial institution, supporting national development priorities and driving long-term impact through sustainability-focused partnerships.
FABMISR, a subsidiary of the First Abu Dhabi Bank Group, is among the largest foreign banks operating in Egypt, with a network of 73 branches providing banking products and services across all customer segments.
