Cairo, Egypt –December 2025: AMAN Holding, a portfolio company of Raya Holding and a fully-fledged fintech company in Egypt, has signed a cooperation agreement with Habitat for Humanity Egypt (HFHE) to launch a pilot housing improvement finance program aimed at supporting low- and middle-income households and enhancing housing conditions in some of the most underserved communities in Upper Egypt.
The program, titled “Empowering Housing Improvements for Low-Income Households in Egypt through FinTech Solutions,” will be implemented as a one-year pilot in the governorates of Minya and Assiut, under an innovative financing model that combines digital solutions with technical expertise in housing and community development.
This partnership reflects the complementary strengths of both parties, leveraging AMAN’s leadership in financial technology and consumer finance, alongside Habitat for Humanity Egypt’s specialized expertise in housing improvement, community development, and financial inclusion.
