In crisis, our diocese rushes aid: food, shelter, medicine, hope. Partnering locally, we lift communities through hardship.

Our churches have 3 community schools: 2 Sudanese and 1 Eritrean.
These schools provide learning and discovery for children of all faiths.
They enable them to follow a quality program throughout the year and to sit exams recognised by the Egyptian government.
Many of the displaced are sick or elderly.
They need appropriate care and medicines, often impossible for lack of money.
Our churches have agreements with certain hospitals and pay – in exchange for bills – for certain consultations and medicines.
Our churches are meeting places and places of joy.
Catechism classes are held throughout the year.
Outdoor activities, to the zoo or the pyramids, are also organised for children and young people.
Our churches offer various activities: pastoral and church-related activities, women’s groups, entertainment programs for the children, workshops and open days.
Food is the first need to be met. Many families find themselves without a subsistence income without work and having left everything behind.
Meeting their food needs becomes a daily challenge.
The families are large, often 8, 9 or 10 people.
Apartments are always too small but essentially crucial for families.
Due to inflation and the war, rents have risen in recent months, making the situation even more complicated for new arrivals.
Families often live in remote outlying areas, far from administrative infrastructures and potential workplaces.
They, therefore, need financial support to enable them to be more mobile, available and integrated into Egyptian society.
Your contribution will help us continue our mission to serve the people of Egypt. Your generosity can make a real difference in the lives of those in need. We rely on the kindness of donors like you to support our various projects and activities, from education and healthcare to social services and outreach programmes.
