Dr. Heba Handoussa in AL-Akhar Show with Mr. Kamel Abdel Fatah on Egyptian Channel 1 on the 22nd of September, the theme of the interview was “Human Development”. One of the important questions addressed to Dr. Heba was: How come rural Upper Egypt which accounts for only 25% of the population and yet is responsible for more than 40% of the country births? To which Dr. Heba answered: This is what human development is about; helping poor families that need to have large number of children to send off to work; to make the first one or two steps towards making them families that desire and are able to send their children to school and buy them shoes.
