El Shams Club Grants Equal Membership Rights to Kafala Children

El Shams Club has announced that children under Kafala care will now enjoy equal membership rights, making it the first sports club in Egypt to implement such a policy. This initiative aims to integrate Kafala children into mainstream society, providing them with the same opportunities as other members.

Kafala allows families to care for orphaned or abandoned children without granting them the family name or inheritance rights. While it provides a familial environment for the child, societal acceptance has been a challenge. El Shams Club's decision is hoped to become a significant move towards reducing the stigma associated with Kafala and promoting inclusivity.
