Tamer Abdel Fattah, Acting Executive Director of the Tahya Misr Fund, stressed the importance of participating in times of crisis, praising the role of many businessmen, companies, public figures and artists in supporting the fund’s efforts. He added than this reflected positively on the size of the contributions in the fund, whether in cash or in-kind donations.
