Research Methodology
![Page 7: Fayoum University Monday 24 December 2012. Higher Education Funding Opportunities in the Arab Region Fayoum University Monday 24 December 2012](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56649f185503460f94c2f274/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Challenges
• Desire to remain anonymous rather than be publicized in the Directory.
• Inability to comprehend the rationale of the project.
• Charity nature of the donations (zakat).
• Lack of a systemized policy for support.
• Support is provided for employees only.
