EGYPT OIL & GAS CSR SUPPLEMENT
Apache:
Give Where We Live Our approach to giving back in the communities where we operate centers on a simple philosophy to “give where we live.” Our CSR programs encompass a wide variety of activities that create value for the people, shareholders, government, environment, as well as the community. Our CSR activities include: employee-driven philanthropic activities, civic infrastructure projects, building and maintaining schools, supplying medical equipment, supporting orphans, providing clean water and sanitation, supporting future engineers, and providing an environment that encourages a healthy workforce.
Springboard: Educating the Future At the forefront of our community efforts is our ongoing campaign to provide educational opportunities through our partnership with Springboard: Educating the Future. In 2004, we funded the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood’s project by building 201 girl-friendly oneclassroom schools for underprivileged girls in rural areas in Egypt. Since 2004, we have supported the schools with regular maintenance activities, school supplies, clean water supply and sanitation, computers, medical needs, planting, teachers’ trainings, awareness sessions and regular visits. More than 120 computer and laptops were delivered to the schools over the past four years and an average of 70 schools have been maintained yearly since the initiative was launched. Around 7,000 students benefit from these schools yearly. Today, more than 10,000 girls have learned how to read and write from Springboard Schools and around 2,200 graduates are enrolled in middle schools and high schools across Egypt to continue their education. We are keen on following up on these graduates’ progress and enabling them to pursue their dreams.
