  Tree Planting Committee : Top

The society assumes an important role in tree planting and renovation of Heliopolis and neighboring districts. Of the most important achievements, was its pioneer initiative in declaring a cleaning campaign. The society divided Heliopolis into sections. Members of the society were assigned to supervise cleaning and environmental protection efforts in those sections. In addition to the "Million Tree" project of which Mrs. Suzan Mubarak - the society's chairperson- opened the first stage. The project includes tree and greenery planting in many roads in order to overcome desertification especially in the eastern part of Cairo. Various types of trees and plants were used. However, the tree planting process is not only restricted on merely farming but it is extended to include enhancement of roads and selecting the types of trees to be planted. Other entities were inspired to contribute to this major achievement such as the executive bodies of Cairo Governorate, Ministries of Agriculture, Environment, Housing and Construction, and Transportation in addition to the Organization of Cairo International Airport and the Egyptian Japanese Association which provided the Japanese Cherry Trees that enjoy a special historical value.

  Suzan Mubarak Child Museum Committee : Top

The society established  Suzan Mubarak Museum for children  at the Jungle Park, which has been unused for a long time. In this museum the child is allowed to touch the displays and not just watch them, which stimulates their senses. The child is also able to physically work in many activities and handicrafts that reflect Egyptian history and geography. In addition to an up to date computer center. All this and other special features, including handing a passport to the child at the museum entrance to tour around the sections representing all parts of Egypt, makes the museum an absolutely different one.
