What We Do

Our Programs

Established in 1998, we’ve made it our mission to support families and children living in poverty to help them thrive and break the cycle of poverty through our Family-to-Family Sponsorship program.

But there’s more. We also provide funding for Special Needs when families are faced with urgent challenges due to sickness, housing difficulties, marriage preparation or lack of education.

Our yearly Easter Hamper and Christmas Hamper Appeals ensure poor and needy families can celebrate these important occasions on our Coptic Orthodox Church calendar with food they otherwise can’t afford.

Family-to-Family Sponsorship

We currently support 981 Christian families living in poverty in Egypt, including but not limited to El Monifia, Deshina, Tanta and Hadek El Koda. Most of these families have children and are extremely poor, having nothing to eat while living in shacks with sometimes incomplete roofing. Poverty robs these families of dignity and the basic rights to clean water, food and adequate shelter.

That’s why our Family-to-Family Sponsorship exists. You can make a real and tangible difference in the life of one family. Your generosity can help one family thrive and break the cycle of poverty, giving parents and children hope.

Working closely with various dioceses across Egypt, we identify the families with the most urgent needs to register them for our Family-to-Family Sponsorship program. For just $60 per month, you can support a family and transform their lives.

Due to the privacy and dignity of these families, we cannot share personal information with sponsors. However, we’ll provide annual financial reports and updates of where the funds have been allocated with video messages from the local bishops and images of where your donations have gone, where possible.

The Coptic Hope Difference

Unlike most charities, almost 100% of our funds goes directly to those in need, thanks to the unwavering dedication of our committee members who volunteer their skills and time.

Other projects

We’ve established sewing workshops in different Egyptian towns.

Marriage preparation

Preparing for marriage may be difficult when there’s no money to set up a home with the basic necessities, such as a fridge, stove and other appliances. We offer financial assistance in covering these marriage expenses.

Building projects

We’ve funded the building of 60 concrete roofs for families living in poverty and we also fund projects to build homes or improve sub-standard living conditions.

Medical Services

We funded the purchase of two incubators and facilitated the training of Egyptian nurses who now use this important equipment.

Healthcare

Sickness can greatly impact a family and make it even more difficult to make ends meet. We provide funding to enable a family member to receive proper healthcare and medical treatment.
