Mahmoud Nasr added in exclusive statements to Cairo 24 that the initiative, which was launched in Minya Governorate, focuses on educating young people about the dangers of electronic betting and how to protect their data and digital identities.
The initiative also seeks to empower young people by providing digital entrepreneurship skills as a safe and sustainable alternative to betting, while providing training and self-employment opportunities.
