Dear Friends of Egyptian Children with Cancer,

We hope that you, your family, and friends are well. We thank you for your continued support and generosity in giving poor, sick children in Egypt the opportunity to receive proper treatment, recover, and lead healthy, productive lives.

 

Last year, the FECC was able to raise and transfer $175,000 to our nonprofit sister organization in Egypt, Friends of Children with Cancer(FOCC). That annual donation covered 85% of the cost of medications in the nine pediatric hospitals that the FECC supports. 

Those hospitals are affiliated with the following universities: Ain Shams, Alexandria, Mansoura, Zagazig, Assiut, Menya, the Nasser Institute, and El Shefa Children’s Hospital in Sohag.

 

The only hospital we support in Cairo is the Nasser Institute, which is affiliated with Kser El Eini University. The FECC strongly believes that hospitals scattered across Upper and Lower Egypt need our help much more than those in Cairo.

 

This year the FECC needs your help to raise $30,000 to match last year raised funds and  cover the cost of the medications needed in the hospitals the FECC supports.

Who Are We, Vision, Strategy

The FECC, founded in 1995, is an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Houston, Texas.

FECC is an all-volunteer organization with little administrative costs and close to 100% of the funds raised by our organization are spent on programs that benefit the children of Egypt. Moreover, our board includes four physicians from world-class institutions like the MD Anderson Cancer Center and Memorial Hermann Children’s Hospitals. These physicians’ knowledge of cancer treatments in Egypt and the US is critical in making informed decisions about the medication and education programs to fund.

FECC’s  Vision is To Provide a Cure for the Children of Egypt Afflicted with Cancer

FECC’s Strategy is

• Leverage the Board Resources and Medical Network to improve capabilities in Egypt
• Purchase medication for “underserved” pediatric oncology centers
• Very low administrative overheard
