The United Bank has announced a new developmental initiative aimed at supporting and empowering people with visual impairments in North Sinai. In collaboration with the Sa’ed Foundation, the bank has fully equipped an integrated assistive technology lab at the "Al-Noor School for the Blind" in Arish. This move aligns with the bank's strategy to achieve comprehensive sustainable development and foster social inclusion by providing equal educational and professional opportunities for marginalized groups.
