Story

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Egypt.&nbsp;</span>Situated in the northeast african continent, it is borderd by the Meditteranian Sea, Israel, Red Sea, Libya &amp; Sudan. It has quite remarkably one of the oldest civilisations dating back to 3100 BC. As such, it has become a country rich in ancient culture and history (e.g. the reign of Alexander the Great), museums, monumental structures (e.g. the Sphinx, the Great Pyramids, etc) and beautiful landscape as the Nile and Sinai Desert. It is for this reason that Egypt has undeniably garnered widespread attention, attracting almost 13 milions of tourists per year. Despite it's touristic success, people would be surprised to know that without tourism, Egypt's economy is very poor as tourism alone contributes to ~12% of the workforce. In fact, roughly 20% of Egyptians are currently living below the poverty line, and very many are trying to make ends meet.&nbsp;</p> <p><br />What if I told you, that by donating only 10 pounds, per month, you can help provide clean drinking water and electricity for one Coptic household.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
