Ezbet El Nassara, Under the guidance of Bishop Stephanos and in partnership with Fr. tadros

In Ezbet El Nassara, Beni Suef, we expanded the program in the Archangel Michael home and launched a day school there for special needs individuals. The purpose is for youth from the local villages there, to receive special education classes. They are given lessons in math and language, speech therapy, memory and skill development. The classes run from 8am to 1 pm and there are currently 13 students that attend. The need for programs like these in remote areas in Upper Egypt is great, since individuals with disabilities are very underserved.

our sponsor a senior program In nag hammadi, egypt

In Nag Hammadi, we deliver essential grocery items on a monthly basis to seniors and needy families living in the local villages. To date, we have sponsored 750 seniors and senior families. God has blessed us and is growing our sponsor a senior food delivery program through the generosity of our amazing donors.

The seniors we serve are unable to provide for themselves because of their ages and poor medical conditions. Through our sponsorship program, we deliver a container of food on a monthly basis to seniors and the needy in their homes in the villages of Nag Hammadi. Inside the containers are various food items, such as meat, butter, chicken, cheese, and rice.

We are also excited to announce the launch of a new spiritual service as part of our sponsor a senior program. Most of the villages in Nag Hammadi do not have near by churches. With the help of workers from Archangels Michael and Gabriel Coptic Relief and other local churches, we have begun transporting some of the seniors to the nearest church to attend mass and have spiritual fellowship on a monthly basis. Before the program launch, many of the seniors we serve were not able to attend church due to transportation fees and long travel time. For this reason, many would go several months without attending church services. Please pray for this much needed new service and you can sponsor a senior with a monthly gift here
