More Infomation:
Founded: 1998

Director: Mrs Adrienne Strengholt-Esher

Beginnings:
DUET was founded to help lessen the unbalanced economic growth and stark difference in living conditions between urban and rural areas. It supports the development of entire villages through projects that benefit every individual.

Activities:

BibleLands began working with DUET in 2003 in the village of Beni Khalil, to provide a comprehensive four year plan to increase the standard of living for the entire community. The programme’s aim was to provide long-term benefits in five main areas:

primary health care
infrastructure and environmental health
education
income generation
agricultural and veterinary training.
