Mostafa Hanafy

Mostafa Hanafy learned about Wataneya while searching for specialized training courses in alternative childcare, which was always his career path of choice. The workshops he completed encouraged him to pursue more advanced certification in child support and rehabilitation, becoming among the first to graduate from a new program launched by the Amaan Training Center. Mostafa’s training allowed him to progress further in his career until he came to lead the Resala Association’s Atfal Ad Elhaiah initiative, which works with street children.

He was determined to use his experience and training to make impactful change by building a team that is like-minded in its understanding of the sensitive nature of the job and the standards of care that should be offered. He encouraged employees in his charge to seek out the same training he felt aided his own professional development and began to partake in training workshops for fresh graduates and new entrants to the field of alternative childcare. Mostafa also applied for and won the Sanad technical grant from Wataneya, which was allocated to upgrades that allowed Atfal Ad Elhaiah to improve its services and win the Beit El Helm Award in 2016.
