SOCIO CULTURAL
PROJECTS
Hemaya is committed to empowering communities and preserving heritage in South Sinai. Hemaya did variouse projects from teaching Bedouins mobile repair skills, helped women sustain traditional crafts through training with GIZ, and educated 170 street children in waste management and self-development with UNICEF.
​
Our efforts also extend to arts and infrastructure, repurposed tons of unclaimed clothing for families in need, organizing a local music concert, and published a book to celebrate regional culture.
Through these initiatives, Hemaya tries to foster economic opportunity, artistic expression, and community resilience.

Music Concert Nuweiba
Hemaya organized a rare cultural event in Nuweiba, bringing live music to the local community. Featuring performances by Basata Band and Nigmet Sina, the concert blended traditional Bedouin melodies with contemporary Egyptian songs.

Taba Check Point
Recognizing the importance of the Taba checkpoint as a major entry point into South Sinai, Hemaya took on the task of redesigning and rebuilding the facility in the early 2000s. Funded by the Egyptian American Bank, the project transformed the checkpoint from a simple, unappealing structure into a more functional and visually welcoming gateway for travelers arriving to South Sinai.

Publishing a Book
Hemaya published its first book documenting the efforts of various NGOs and their impact on the community of South Sinai. The publication raises awareness, attracts support, and aims to inspires future projects focused on sustainability and social empowerment.

Unclaimed Clothes
Hemaya repurposed 20 tons of brand-new, unclaimed clothing from the Egyptian Customs Authority in Nuweiba to help families in need across South Sinai. After careful sorting and disinfection, the clothes were fairly distributed among cities, with local authorities ensuring they reached the most vulnerable communities.
