The Master Builder | Spear's WMS: "IN THE SAME way that his business is taking up slack left by the government, so is Sawiris’ philanthropy. The Sawiris Foundation – for the whole family – concentrates on employment and skills, community development, health, educational scholarships, literary awards and micro-credit: by and large things which the government should be doing. As is the case across the world, the philanthropy of billionaires is replacing the duty of governments, inefficient and short-termist. Sawiris says that he is funding secured education for 35,000 people in Egypt and that he also supports heritage conservation; he gets visibly irritated when he talks of how the government of Dubai razed the old town to put up its unoccupied skyscrapers."
