Why Not 2 (Leih La’ 2)
Leih La’ discusses one of the most sensitive and controversial issues in Egypt, which is orphans’ sponsorship or “Kafalah.” Kafalah in Egypt is still a topic that needs a lot of effort and attention to introduce and review its aspects so that the Egyptians can accept and understand it well.
