The project (Start life) was accepted by “Drosos Foundation” for funding and was approved by the “Ministry of Social Solidarity” (in August 2016). The target number of released prisoners that the project aims to reach is 300 with a focus on female prisonersfrom the prisons in El-Sharqia, Qalyubia, Beheira and Alexandria governorates.
