Abstract

Civil society organizations are often limited to providing social assistance without having an influential role in the progress of societies and the achievement of sustainable development. Therefore, the researcher highlights the influential role of civil society and its institutions in raising awareness and improving sustainable development in society through the Ethics Kiosks project. The researcher aimed to study the impact of Awareness Kiosks (Ethics Kiosks) on achieving sustainable development in society. The Ethics Kiosk project has been applied in the old Labbana district of Port Said Governorate in Egypt since 2018 by the Meshakat Nour Foundation. The study depends on a descriptive theoretical approach and a questionnaire. The data were processed using (SPSS 25) and various statistical methods including testing reliability through Cronbach's alpha coefficient, Model Summary, ANOVA Test, and T-test. The results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the independent variables (social, health, educational, economic, and environmental fields) and the dependent variable (achieving sustainable development in society) and there was a significant impact of social, health, educational, economic, and environmental fields on achieving sustainable development in society. The kiosk achieved 12 of the United Nations sustainable development goals, and even added a basic goal that was overlooked by the United Nations, which is "modifying human behavior." These goals have been achieved through the various sub-programs of Ethics Kiosks, which are concerned with home repair, modifying infrastructure, economic empowerment of families, health, education, and recreational aspects for citizens in slums and impoverished areas.
