From the humble beginnings of the association in 1969, PACHE has become an important partner and international donor of AUEED.
 
There is a beginning to every good thing...
PACHE history began in march 1969, following a meeting between Amin Fahim, Antoine Jammal, Henri Eid and Georges Habashi, that decided to found « Les amis des écoles chrétiennes d'Egypte », the Canadian partner of the association of Upper Egypt for education and development. At that time, 30,000 Egyptians, of which a significant number knew about Father H. Ayrout work in Egypt, were living in Montreal.
Publication of the first newsletter « eux et nous » brought to witness among other things, on the manner in which a movement issued from a local Christian community in a Muslim country worked to empower local communities through dialog, love and respect of all faiths.
The organization adopts the name of "Les partenaires de l'Association chrétienne de la Haute Egypte pour les écoles et la promotion sociale".
The organization changes its name to « Les partenaires de l'association de la Haute Egypte pour l'Éducation et le développement (PACHE). Since then, PACHE is a registered charity, secular and non-partisan organization.
With more than 850 members, PACHE celebrates 40 years of involvement and support with its partner AUEED.
