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.
