Help Egyptian Children in need
Donation protected
Hi,
I'm Egyptian/British. I live in UK and visit Egypt a few times throughout the year.
During every visit to Egypt, I do some charity work depending on my financial capability at that time.
The economy of Egypt is very bad and of course the poor people are the ones who feel it the most. I could never describe to you how bad the real situation is for the people who live there. First of all you should know that there is no such thing as benefits in Egypt. If you don't work, you get nothing and you are on your own. If you don't pay the rent, you end up on the street even if you have children.
There are too many people in need, but as my available resources are limited, I focus only on 3 categories, all related to children as they are the most vulnerable.
I help, and need your help, in these areas:
1) Orphans: Orphanages in Egypt are financed by charities and they are desperate for anything and everything. Clothes and toys are luxuries, so they mainly ask for the basics which are nappies, baby milk, food and blankets. Getting sweets is like a dream for some of the children there. Just seeing the orphans would make you go and hug your kids and be grateful for what you have and take for granted.
2) Mothers/widows in debt: One of the biggest issues in Egypt is people who are in debt and end up in prison. The most touching cases are mothers/widows who lost their husbands and had to borrow money to feed their kids, buy them medicine or pay the rent. Many of these widows can't pay back the money they borrowed and end up in prison. The amounts they owe could be as little as £50, but for them this is a fortune, and regardless of the amount they owe they could end up in prison leaving their kids behind and most of them end up in orphanages. The feeling you get when you see the difference you make in the whole family's life, by keeping it together, is amazing.
3) Sick children: The door bell never stops, people come with their sick children, genuine medical reports and prescriptions asking for help. Medicines in Egypt are not free and without help many children go without. Just imagine your own child is sick and you can't afford to buy his medication and you watch him suffering in front of your eyes.
Any amount could help, could make an orphan feels loved, could keep a mother with her children or make a sick child smile again.
I always believed that good deeds stay with you and you get paid back some way or another.
Your help and support is very much appreciated and thank you very much in advance.
Please feel free to share this with your family and friends.
Regards
