Coptic Orphans

Coptic Orphans When most people think of “orphans,” they think of children in orphanages who have no family at all. This is an injustice.

International Christian Development Organization—Unlocking the God-given potential of Egypt's most vulnerable children through the power of education since 1988.
100,000+ Children Impacted ✨ In fact, many orphanages in Egypt are filled with children who have families only because their widowed mothers cannot afford to feed them. Coptic Orphans focuses on the children most likely to face the deadly

combination of poverty and social injustice, but who have the greatest potential to change their lives and the lives of others. Through child sponsors and a network of over 900 town/village-based on the ground volunteers, churches, and organizations, our programs help children stay in school (and stay with their families) and by God’s grace, we empower thousands of children to reclaim their dignity and self-worth. We make a covenant with orphaned families in Egypt to stay with a child until the end of their highest education, as long as they also work hard to make full use of every possible educational opportunity they have. Our vision is a peaceful, prosperous Egypt where children thrive, and a vibrant, engaged Diaspora. Our team of over 150 trained professionals works from our headquarters just outside Washington, D.C. and from offices in Egypt, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Meet Demiana, a girl from Sohag who held onto her dreams and earned a scholarship to study Biotechnology & Genetic Engineering.

She never let her circumstances slow her down, and now she hopes to inspire other girls to believe in what is possible: “I want to be the reason for any girl to say, ‘because she did it, I can too.’”

Hear Maria share how her life changed after joining Coptic Orphans and learning to overcome social anxiety and depression.

Recently, we had the blessing of gathering with the youth at Archangel Michael & Saint Mercurius Coptic Church in Quebec, Canada. It was a meaningful time of connection and sharing the heart behind Coptic Orphans.

We are especially grateful for His Grace Bishop Boulos, whose words encouraged everyone to support and uplift children in Egypt and take part in this mission.

Marina didn’t just receive a laptop. She received access to education.
Before, attending classes and learning essential skills wasn’t possible. Now, she’s gaining the tools she needs to succeed. 💻️
