American Association For Upper Egypt

To help eradicate, or at least minimize, illiteracy in Upper (south) Egypt. This section of the country is mainly rural and does not have the same resources as main cities.

1- Diversify our donor base by reaching out to donors of non-Egyptian origin.
2- Seek the assistance of our most dedicated donors to help us tell our story.
3- Study methods and past practices of other charitable organizations to see what can work for us.
4- Recognition of our Business and Individual donors.

1- Due to limited funding, start by advertising in local community bulletins such as churches. Tell our story using our web page and Facebook page.
2- Maintain periodic personal contact (phone calls, e-mails etc.) with our dedicated donors to spread the word of mouth.
3-Use Guidestar as a reference, and search the internet on best practices for charitable organizations. Any personal contact has been put on hold due to Covid-19
4- Recognize our donors on our web page.

Our web page is constantly updated for stories and events related to the children's education vis the various programs that the Association for Upper Egypt for Education and Development runs.

A donor corner recognizing our donors has been established.

Advertising in local community bulletins has been put on hold due to covid-19. However, we plan on resuming our approach once communities can gather again.
