Advancing education and relieving poverty for the public benefit in Egypt.
A clear purpose, written into our governing document.
Green Valley Relief Foundation exists to advance education and relieve poverty for the public benefit in Egypt. We work with and for children and young people, the elderly, and people with disabilities — removing barriers to learning, meeting basic needs, and helping communities build a more secure future.
These charitable objectives are enshrined in our constitution and are the sole basis on which we operate. Every programme we fund, every service we provide, and every decision the trustees make must further one or both of these objectives, for the public benefit, in line with the Charity Commission’s guidance.
Six programme areas, as classified on the UK Charity Commission register.
Direct financial assistance to people in hardship — targeted, accountable, and focused on lasting change rather than one-off relief alone.
Our primary charitable object. We remove barriers to learning — from school fees and learning materials to scholarships and adult training — so that education is genuinely accessible.
Volunteers, teachers, mentors, and support workers who bring skills, time, and care to the communities we serve.
We provide or support the physical spaces in which learning, welfare, and community life take place — from classrooms to community halls.
Essential welfare services that address the basic needs of the most vulnerable — the foundation on which education and opportunity are built.
Practical guidance, signposting, and advocacy so that beneficiaries understand their rights, options, and the support available to them.
We focus our resources on the groups facing the deepest barriers.
A child who cannot afford school, an older person without essential care, or a person with a disability excluded from community life — these are the situations our work is designed to change. Every programme is built around a specific, identified need in the communities we serve.
Our operations extend throughout Egypt, coordinated from our registered office in London, United Kingdom.
How we ensure our work serves the public, not private, interest.
Under the Charities Act, every registered charity in England and Wales must demonstrate that its purposes are for the public benefit. Our trustees take this duty seriously and review it in line with the Charity Commission’s published public benefit guidance.
In practice this means:
We do not support any private commercial purpose, political party, or individual private gain. Decisions are made by the board of trustees acting in the charity’s best interests, and our reporting with the Charity Commission is kept up to date.
