MANSOUR FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPMENT

ABOUT MFD

Starting out as the Mansour Charity Foundation in January 2001, the Mansour Foundation for Development (MFD) was the first donor NGO to be fully funded by an Egyptian family. The year 2009, was a new onset for the foundation, positioning itself towards growth and recognition in the Egyptian society.

Thus, it went through several mandatory enhancement processes to:

1) Expand & diversify its scope of programs; sharing the country efforts to overcome the world economic crisis that deeply affected the development sector.

2) Moderate & maximize the CSR contributions made by Mansour corporate; transforming it into stakeholder model where the company respond to the needs of stakeholders – customers, employees, communities.

3) Fund & execute numerous development activities; demonstrating new role model in administrating development programs through implementing business standards and values.

Consequently, the foundation re-registered itself as Mansour Foundation for Development–M.F.D- at the Ministry of Social Solidarity under same no. 489.
