General Information
Fair Trade Egypt Foundation (FTEF) is a registered Egyptian foundation that works in the field of Economic Development & Cultural Awareness. It had been established with the aim to improve and develop the social and economic conditions of marginalised communities through various activities including capacity building, social development and support services in the sectors of crafts and agriculture. Employees: less than 10 FTEF aims at a sustainable, creative, core objective relevant and partnership based fundraising strategy. This strategy is inspired by FTE long history working as an enterprise with different, diverse and remote groups. We have concluded, from our work, that successful impact will not occur only by donations or sudden amounts of funding but rather sustainable partnership with funds to cover operational and activities expenses
