Onsi Sawiris Scholarship Program 2011/12-Outstanding Egyptian Students-Amideast-Egypt

Posted by sakshi on February 25, 2010

ORASCOM Construction Industries has sponsored Onsi Sawiris Scholarship Program for the year 2011-2012 for Outstanding Egyptian Students in Egypt

Orascom Construction Industries (OCI) traces its roots back to 1950 when Eng. Onsi Sawiris first founded a construction company with a few friends in Upper Egypt. By digging waterways and paving roads, he built his business into one of Egypt’s largest general contractors. In 1961, the business was nationalized under President Nasser and later became known as the El Nasr Civil Works Company. Not content to be an employee in his own company, Eng. Sawiris left for Libya where he continued his construction career. In 1976, he returned to Egypt and founded Orascom as a general contracting and trading company with five employees. By the early 1990s, Eng. Sawiris had established Orascom as a leading private sector contractor by working in partnership with international companies pursuing projects in Egypt. Today, Orascom Construction Industries continues to blend international technical know-how with local resources to undertake even larger, more complex and demanding projects.
OCI seeks to promote excellence and achievement. OCI launched the Onsi Sawiris Program in the year 2000 to invest company resources in educational programs to improve the communities in which it works.
