Who We Are

Our Children (“Awladna”) exists to address and assist with the challenging needs of children and families in poor communities across Egypt and to help in putting an end to generational poverty within these chosen villages. Our desire is to inspire and empower families and villages to improve their life situation through providing help to the individual children living below the poverty line—those who are in desperate need of physical, mental and spiritual assistance and growth. As a ministry of Kasr El Dobara Evangelical Church, the largest evangelical church in the Middle East, we seek to expand the Kingdom of God through Christ- and Gospel-centered efforts, while partnering with local churches to promote unity and independence within the communities we serve. We want to see Egyptian children’s lives changed from the inside out, mind, body and spirit, to know and serve Christ, living happy and healthy lives. We long for children to be a light in their families & villages and, with God’s help, be the catalyst for long-term positive change in entire communities.

To reach children from marginalized and poor families with the message of Christ, plant it in their hearts and lead them to enjoy good physical, emotional and spiritual health; Give them the opportunity to truly know Jesus and have a real relationship with him and inspire them to grow into influential individuals who will bring change to their families and help develop their communities.

"And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Luke 2:52

The vision of Awladna Ministry is that children grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and people.

What We Do?

Inspire, Impact & Empower Children in Egypt

Physical & Emotional health

No child or family can progress in life without good physical & emotional health. We provide basic help with exams, medicines and such. But our greater help is in the area of emotional health, the root of many issues that we see. Therefore we offer many activities and initiatives to address emotional health in the children, as well as the fathers and mothers. For physical health, we provide provide an initial health assessment to detect significant issues or diseases, as well as hearing and sight exams, and help with any medications/lab work needed for chronic cases. We also stay in touch with families to help with any emergency care help that is needed.

Education

We know education of the mind is a key component to long-term change. Therefore, our programs teach literacy, emotional well-being and physical wellness. Upon sponsorship, we assess the child’s reading and writing abilities and offer tutoring to bring each child up to their age-appropriate literacy level. We also meet weekly with each child in a group setting to teach socioemotional and physical wellness.

Spiritual

The most critical area of growth, we focus a great deal on teaching the children about Jesus and the Gospel—that they are loved by God and special. The children meet in weekly discipleship groups with a leader from our local partner church in the village. Their leader teaches them spiritual foundations from the Bible and visits them at their home weekly/monthly to spend time with them and their family. This is where we believe God will transform hearts and minds.

Our Children ministry invites you to partner with us through child and village sponsorship, as well as community projects

As an individual, we invite you to sponsor a child for $40/month. These funds will help the child in the areas of education, health care and spiritual life growth — through things like literacy assessments, tutoring, discipleship groups, medical check-ups and many other things! Less than $6 out of your monthly $40 will go towards our employee salaries and other administrative costs. If you have not been assigned a child to sponsor yet, please email us today at info@ourchildrenkdec.com to choose your child. Once you have an assigned child, use the donation box here to begin donating right away (it’s easy and safe to sign up for monthly donations!).We also offer individuals and churches the opportunity to partner with us in sponsoring community projects such as preschools, water filtration, micro businesses and more. Email us to find out more info.As a church, we invite you to partner with us in sponsoring a village as a whole. As a church, you can provide larger amounts of funds for community water filters, preschool/daycare renovations and support, volunteer trainings, micro-business projects and other opportunities, as well as help with much-needed administrative costs. Additionally, your church would work (with our support) to find sponsors for the (around 50) children inside that village, most likely families/people from your church members. We also encourage churches to come to Egypt and see the work for themselves and meet our teams and volunteers here on the ground in the villages, as well as the children and families being impacted! Please contact us via the email below to discuss the idea of church partnership to sponsor a village.
