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.

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.
