On the basis of the educational and developmental role of civil society institutions in advancing development, Banque Misr Foundation for Community Development supported the Heliopolis Association's initiative to establish the first Science Center in the Middle East dedicated to children, at the Children's Museum of Civilization and Creativity in Heliopolis.

With simple practical and interactive methods with hands-on through the use of various sciences to create environmental awareness with a view to advance society towards development and create a sustainable environment free from pollution and damage.
