February 4, 2008

The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation has built six new schools in various rural areas of the country this year, to improve the lives of young girls in Egypt. The project began in January 2006 and was successfully concluded in February this year at a cost of approximately US$100,000. To date it has directly impacted more than 125 girls.

The initiative was aimed at educating the female population so as to raise the economic productivity, lower infant and maternal mortality, improve nutrition, promote health and increase access to education for the next generation in Egypt.
