Giving back to the Community

EDC believes that good corporate citizenship requires active contributions to the local community. In 2010, the company joined The Springboard Organization that aims to improve education in Egypt’s rural areas. EDC currently supports two of the 200 schools that fall under the Springboard umbrella and plans to increase this number.

EDC actively contributes to the welfare and development of its ‘adopted’ schools with complete renovation projects for their premises. Going forward, EDC is committed to expanding its contributions to the community by increasing the number of schools it supports, under Springboard while at the same time, extending its support to a further range of charitable organizations.

EDC has also contributed to the governments’ goal of training the youth and university graduates in order to build a better Egyptian learning society by conducting three day development programs for some university students in EDC’s Training Center.

University Student Program

EDC’s university student program is an initiative that provides significant benefits to both the
company and the students involved. The program offers partnerships between EDC and
Egyptian universities such as Cairo University, Suez University, Al Azhar University, BUE, FUE,
AUC and others in aims to provide students with practical experience in their field of study and
develop important skills and knowledge that they can apply in their future careers. It also gives
EDC the opportunity to invest in the next generation of talent and identify potential future
employees through building relationships with Egypt’s prestigious universities all while giving
back to its community.
