More Information:
Founded: 1998

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, and has since supported a range of community development projects in communities across Upper Egypt. In May 2010 BibleLands trustees awarded a three-year grant to fund community development work in two villages in Beni Suef; BibleLands also supports a women's literacy project.

DUET projects aim to provide long-term benefits in areas such as:

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