The Protection Sector
This program aims to help bear the costs of life, including living, medicine, and care, in light of the deteriorating economic conditions on the one hand, and on the other hand, the high rate of inflation in the prices of food, medicine, and other life necessities, and it works to bridge the gaps for the most vulnerable groups in society. This achieves the minimum standard of living and reduces risks such as violence, abuse and exploitation that women and children may be exposed to. The protection program also focuses on people with special needs, the elderly, people with chronic health challenges and others.
