Under the leadership of Mr. Said Zater, Contact Financial Holding has redefined corporate social responsibility (CSR), placing it at the forefront of its operations.
Collaborating closely with Mrs. Ghada Tayel, Group Head of Sustainability and CSR, Mr. Zater has established a strategy rooted in the belief that a company’s value lies in its ability to give back to society.
Through his leadership, Contact has implemented initiatives that have profoundly impacted communities and set a new benchmark for CSR practices in Egypt’s non-banking financial sector.
Strategic Vision: CSR as a Pillar of Business Success
Since becoming CEO, Mr. Zater has emphasized that a company’s success is not solely measured by financial growth but also by its societal contributions.
His vision has led Contact Financial Holding to adopt CSR initiatives aimed at addressing pressing social needs, creating sustainable value, and driving long-term development.
Transforming Healthcare: Partnership with JOSAAB Foundation
Among Contact’s notable CSR initiatives is its collaboration with the JOSAAB Foundation to support the Hospice Egypt project. This groundbreaking initiative focuses on providing specialized palliative care to patients over the age of 18 with chronic or terminal illnesses who have exhausted all treatment options.
The project emphasizes pain relief, emotional support, and holistic care, ensuring dignity and comfort for patients and their families in their final days. Whether delivered at home, in hospitals, or in hospice centers, the partnership reflects Mr. Zater’s unwavering commitment to humanitarian causes that alleviate suffering and bring hope to vulnerable groups.
Empowering People of Determination: Lifelong Support through Advanced Solutions
Recognizing the importance of inclusivity, Contact has strengthened its efforts to support people of determination through a strategic partnership with the Hand in Hand Foundation. This initiative provides free, lifelong 3D-printed prosthetic limbs, enabling individuals with disabilities to regain independence and reintegrate into society
. Beyond prosthetics, the program offers psychological rehabilitation, empowering beneficiaries to rebuild their confidence and embrace fulfilling lives. This comprehensive support underscores Mr. Zater’s commitment to inclusivity and equal opportunities for all members of society.
Enhancing Living Standards in Underserved Communities
Mr. Zater’s leadership has also focused on improving the quality of life in underprivileged villages. In collaboration with the Abwab El-Kheir Foundation, Contact has provided clean water resources to families in need, addressing one of the most basic human rights.
The partnership also extends to equipping public hospitals with advanced medical equipment to improve healthcare services, as well as distributing essential school supplies to underprivileged children. These efforts demonstrate Mr. Zater’s belief in the transformative power of education and healthcare to build a brighter future for marginalized communities.
Promoting Sustainable Giving: Raising Awareness Through Sports
Believing in the power of sports as a tool for social impact, Mr. Zater has led Contact’s involvement in community-centered events. One such initiative was the company’s participation in the Rahn Schulen Kairo
marathon, where all proceeds from donations were allocated to 57357 Hospital for Children’s Cancer Treatment. By combining physical activity with charitable giving, this initiative not only raised funds but also inspired a culture of sustainable giving within the community.
A New Standard for Corporate Social Responsibility
Under the visionary leadership of Mr. Zater, Contact Financial Holding has emerged as a model for CSR excellence in Egypt. By aligning financial growth with impactful community initiatives, the company has demonstrated that corporate success and social responsibility go hand in hand.
Through strategic partnerships and innovative projects, Contact has cemented its position as a socially responsible organization committed to improving lives and driving sustainable development.
Building a Better Future for Generations to Come
At the heart of Contact’s CSR philosophy is a firm belief that true progress begins with responsible giving and active participation in community building.
By addressing the needs of the most vulnerable groups and fostering a culture of compassion and sustainable giving, Contact Financial Holding continues to make a lasting, positive impact on society—one that will benefit generations to come.
