According to the company’s General Manager Tarek Mansour, Chipsy will contribute LE 1 million that will enable the program to target an additional 4,650 students.

The Food for Education program, whose main goal is to decrease absenteeism from school, operates by supplying students with healthy snacks that fulfill a quarter of their daily nutritional needs. In order to receive WFP’s support, however, “students must attend 80 percent of their classes,” Gian Pietro Bordignon, country director for WFP Egypt told Daily News Egypt.

By doing so, the program improves primary education to some of Egypt’s most poverty stricken areas by alleviating families’ tough decisions of either sending their children to school or forcing them to stay home and work.

“Regardless of the country, education and health are the first expenses to be cut” from a family’s budget in the face of poverty, Bordignon explained, stressing that the program aims to give poor families and children equal opportunities.

Tying the program’s relevance to current political developments in Egypt, Bordignon added that there is “no freedom [in a country] if all citizens aren’t given equal opportunities to be educated and be healthy.”

The Food for Education program, which WFP expanded to Egypt in 2007 in collaboration with the Egyptian government and PepsiCo, Chipsy’s parent company, has been met with a great amount of success. According to Bordignon, schools that are part of the program enjoy a stunning “95 percent attendance rate.”

With Chipsy’s contribution, 4,650 students will join the additional 200,000 students already supported by WFP across 3,300 schools in nine Egyptian governorates.

On top of its direct investment of LE 1 million, “Chipsy will also donate a portion of their profit” for the next two months to the Food for Education program, Mansour added.

While the “field for corporate social responsibility is plenty,” Mansour explained, education is “the most important [area to support], especially in rural areas.”

For his part, famous Egyptian actor Ahmed Helmy, who was named as an official Goodwill Ambassador on behalf of the Food for Education program in Egypt, expressed his “great pride” at being part of such an important program that was “not just words,” but concrete actions.

Empowering future generations of Egyptians through offering them the chance to gain an education, Helmy explained, is a noble endeavor, especially because the students of the program “may become famous doctors or important scientists one day.”

The initiative has four main components;

the first and main component is bringing safe drinking water to the homes, schools and medical units of deprived villages that have suffered from thirst and have little or no access to drinking water.

The second component is water purification which entails supplying villages, rural areas and squatter settlements suffering from polluted or contaminated water with purification plants and systems to filter the current water supply and turn it into usable drinking water.

The third component consists of irrigation water interventions planned closely in collaboration with care’s “water and stability” project officials, it features aiding villages suffering irrigation water difficulties to overcome their problems, this area includes construction, re-digging and clearing kilometers of watercourses as well insulating them with stonework amidst other irrigation water management activities.

The fourth and last component targets kidney failure, a direct result of declined water quality; this includes providing hospitals with dialysis equipment and water treatment facilities enabling them to provide the patients with free dialysis treatment. It is worth mentioning that Etisalat supports underprivileged families with an average monthly income less than EGP 90.

The fifth compontent is Water conservation; Under the slogan “save water… save life”, Etisalat introduced this fifth component as a call for action. Etisalat believes in engaging its customers and the society in its CSR cause. Saving water in the homes and workplaces can greatly contribute to water provision. The capacity and reach of the water network will greatly improve if water is conserved. This component is of increasing importance given Egypt’s rapid population growth rate.

All the mentioned components are complimented with the necessary preliminary researches to assess the needing villages and the suitable type of intervention. The initiative also labels awareness and education as a cross cutting theme; capacity development workshops for the CDAs taking part have already started, awareness programs for the beneficiaries and field trips for the school children of the target locations are also commencing shortly.
