Mission

Coptic Orphans is an award-winning international Christian development organization that unlocks the God-given potential of disadvantaged children in Egypt, and so equips them to break the cycle of poverty and become change-makers in their communities. Coptic Orphans works through grassroots partner and volunteer networks to strengthen local communities for sustainable impact. Since 1988, Coptic Orphans has equipped over 14,000 children throughout Egypt.

Programs

In our flagship program, Not Alone, we equip children who have lost a father in their own homes and families through a network of over 250 volunteer Reps from each child’s local community. In the Valuable Girl Project, we build self-esteem in girls at risk of dropping out of school in order to promote academic retention and access to civil and social rights through mentoring between “little sisters” in primary school and “big sisters” in secondary school and university.
