Cairo Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber commended civil society’s response to the Cairo Governorate’s invitation to participate in tree-planting and landscaping efforts in the capital. The efforts align with the “Greening Cairo” Presidential Initiative, which aims to expand tree planting and increase green spaces in various neighborhoods of the capital to improve living standards and enhance the urban landscape of the streets.
In this context, Rajac British School, in collaboration with the Heliopolis District Office, planted 200 trees as a first phase along several streets in the Heliopolis neighborhood. This included planting 50 trees on Abu Bakr Al-Seddiq Street and 60 trees on Omar ibn Al-Khattab Street, and the remaining trees were planted in front of Al-Tabari Secondary School and on Baghdad Street.
Governor Saber also said it is significant to promote community participation and increase coordination among civil society organizations, schools, universities, the private sector, and executive bodies to help implement the initiative and achieve its objectives. He added that preserving trees and green spaces is a shared responsibility that requires everyone’s joint efforts.
