Sheikha Al Thani speech at EUE titled “The Changing Face of Charities: Navigating Trust”

Sheikha Al Thani delivered an enlightening talk at the hosting campus of European Universities in Egypt, which is the campus branch of the University of London, the University of Central Lancashire, and the University of East London. This significant event, held on the 22nd of January 2024, focused on “The Changing Faces of Charities” and explored how individuals can navigate trust in charitable organizations.

During her engaging presentation, Princess Sheikha addressed the audience, which included students, faculty, and distinguished guests. The talk delved into the evolving landscape of charitable initiatives and the crucial role of trust in fostering meaningful collaborations. Students actively participated by posing questions to Sheikha Sheikha, who graciously shared her insights and experiences.

As a token of appreciation for her invaluable contribution to the discourse on charitable endeavors, Her Excellency was honored with a prestigious award from the European Universities in Egypt. Dr. Mahmoud H. Abdel-Kader, the university’s founder, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, presented the award, recognizing Sheikha Sheikha’s exceptional dedication to philanthropy and her positive impact on the global community.

The talk also delved into the brief history of organized aid in Egypt, shedding light on how trust dynamics have shifted, particularly within prominent international organizations like UNICEF, affected by ongoing conflicts, such as the Palestinian conflict. Sheikha Sheikha eloquently articulated the far-reaching effects of such issues tackled by these international organizations on perceptions of trust by society individuals.

The event served as a platform for fostering a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics within the charitable sector, inspiring both students and faculty to contribute positively to the global philanthropic landscape. Sheikha is looking forward to more fruitful collaborations between SATUC Charity and the European Universities in Egypt, as SATUC will be opening its internship program for EUEs. students.
