In Egypt, they don't refer to perfect eyesight as 20/20. The say 6/6. The "6/6 Eye Test Caravan", supported by the Gozour Foundation and the CIB Foundation, visits school children in poor and remote parts of Egypt to provide eye tests, glasses, medication, and eye health awareness.

With the support of the CIB Foundation, this program screens at-risk children throughout the country, and provides treatment and awareness sessions free of charge.
According to the World Health Organisation, to sustain Egypt’s demand for blood, at least 3% of the population must be regular donors. However, Egypt is only at an estimated 1%. For this reason, the CIB Foundation regularly organises blood donation campaigns in CIB head offices and branches.
In 2015, for the third year in a row, the CIB Foundation partnered with the Egyptian Clothing Bank to provide 50,000 sweaters for children in Upper Egypt.
