Egypt's Ministry of Emigration and Expatriate Affairs has launched an online fundraising platform on Monday to raise $1 million in donations from Egyptian expats in the US to support the presidential Decent Life Initiative, which aims to raise the living standards of over 50 million citizens, according to Emigration Minister Nabila Makram.
The platform will also help to promote a fundraising event scheduled for 2 October that will be launched by Egyptian expats in the US under the patronage of Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly to collect donations for the three-stage presidential initiative, the minister added.
Makram's announcement was made during an online meeting on Monday with representatives of the Decent Life Foundation, Laila Pence — one of the US’ top wealth advisors and president of Pence Wealth Management — among others.
Donations from the Egyptian community in the US can be made online through the newly released website. The money can be donated online via credit cards or by mailing checks using a postal service.
