Imagine a palm canopy on a 50 faddans land in Siwa. With just a modest contribution, you can plant a palm tree in this land, trough which you can transform a young orphans' misery into happiness!
Our vision is to transform the 50 faddans land in Siwa into a sustainable and profitable plantation of palm trees, wherein each faddan should include 110 palm trees. The project features planting and maintaining a palm tree until harvest season and using the income generated to support different charitable projects and activities.
A lasting legacy of charity and sustainability
Our Palm Waqf program features planting and cultivating palm trees and using the income generated from the sale of dates and other palm products for charitable purposes.
Our project also provides job opportunities to local farmers and workers who manage and maintain the plantation.
We use income generated from the Palm Waqf to fund various charitable projects and activities. We provide orphans with the needed support in addition to micro loans or grants to people in need to start or expand their own small businesses or income-generating activities. Moreover, we support other people in need who may require assistance due to poverty, illness, disability, and/or natural disasters.
But why Palm?
Palm is one of highly valuable and profitable crops in Egypt, which leads the world as the largest dates-producing country. Egypt produces 1.8 million tons of dates annually from 15.5 million palm trees on a vast area of 135 million acres, capturing 18% of the global date’s production.
The Egyptian dates comes in various types, up 54, with some being native and some being regional or international. In terms of export, Egypt ranks between 12th and 16th in the world, as it sells 80% of its production to Indonesia and East Asian countries.
By investing in palm cultivation, you are supporting a sustainable and eco-friendly industry that can boost the economy and the environment of the region, as well as the livelihood of underprivileged people.
The sweetest way to give back
Dates are not only a delicious and nutritious food, but also a symbol of Islamic culture and heritage.
