    📸 Before & After: A Water Station Transformed

    Thanks to the unwavering support of YOU our donor,  a water station has been established.  The  "before" photo shows a system in disrepair, struggling to provide clean water to the children of the  Zabaleen community. The "after" photo? A fully functional, clean, and sustainable water station that now ensures access to safe drinking water for hundreds of students and families.  

    This transformation is more than just bricks and pipes—it’s about health, education, and dignity. Clean water means children can focus on their studies instead of worrying about illness. It means a brighter future for the Zabaleen community, who work tirelessly to recycle Cairo’s waste but often lack access to basic resources.  


     Let’s keep the water flowing, the hope growing, and the impact spreading. 💙

      COVID-19 Response & Urgent Need for Zabaleen Community

      Thanks to our donors we were able to support around 330 individuals in 2019-2020.  As the situation of the pandemic is continuing we aspire that you partner with us to help this marginalized community.  The looming effects of the pandemic is still prevailing and is continuing.  The situation is bleak and we hope you will choose to partner with us to help this much needed families.


      A good segment of this vulnerable population is day workers living from hand to mouth, relying on their daily wages. As a consequence of government orders to remain at home, these families no longer have any income; many are now forced to eat from the waste they collect and sift through trash to feed their families.


      We are seeking your continued support to provide the basic necessities of life, including enough food for the vulnerable, especially during this difficult time. We are  looking at supporting this year also another 1000 families in 2021 by providing them with L.E.400 per month equivalent to CAD30.  One hundred percent of all proceeds will go to obtaining food materials, immediately, from the local market. Trained and well-geared healthcare personnel will distribute boxes filled with food to those families in need. We thank you for any donation you can provide as well as all your continued support.
