CARE Egypt’s first challenge event was the BG Egypt Energy Challenge Event, held in South Sinai, December 2004. The concept was derived from the BG Group Energy Challenge Event organized by CARE UK. In Egypt, the 2004 BG Egypt Energy Challenge Event involved the oil and gas sector as well as other sectors to raise funds for local development projects in the poorest regions of the country. The 2004 pilot event raised an impressive 90% more funds than originally anticipated. These funds are reaching poor communities in Upper Egypt through the environmental projects ALIVE, SAFE and EMPOWERS. In 2005, the
partnership between BG and CARE continued when the second BG Egypt
Energy Challenge attracted 26 teams who raised funds, hiked,
climbed, camped and laughed through it all. The teams, formed from
oil and gas companies, hotels, banks, and IT companies, spent two
days in the serene valleys, gardens and mountains of Sinai.
