The exhibition is organized within the framework of the precautionary measures imposed by the state to confront the Corona virus, where students are allowed to visit the exhibition and choose 3 pieces for each student completely freely without crowding.

The exhibition continues to receive students for four days, and is organized in cooperation with the Egyptian Clothing Bank and a number of Egyptian companies specialized in the manufacture and import of clothing.

It is noteworthy that Dokan Al-Farha initiative was launched in April 2019 with the aim of implementing social protection activities and programs for the most vulnerable families in all villages and hamlets.

The initiative organizes exhibitions to provide new clothes within government universities and orphanages. About 700,000 pieces of clothing have been distributed to nearly 300,000 beneficiaries, during the first and second phases of the initiative, as well as a number of bicycles for children and personal hygiene tools.
