Defeating Poverty in Poor Coptic Communities in Egypt
Coptic Cross Ministries is a Christian, charitable, and developmental nonprofit organization based in Virginia, USA. The organization works hand in hand with the Coptic Church in Egypt to empower underprivileged Coptic Christians (Copts) to break through the cycle of poverty.
On-the-ground case work confirms that poverty increases the vulnerability of Copts to religious intolerance, elevates health risks, and tears down community relationships and familial bonds.
Building up Coptic Families to Overcome Poverty
Partnering with the existing efforts of the Coptic Church in Egypt, the organization provides relief to Copts through in-person needs assessments and follow-up.
Poverty stricken families are then accepted into various programs with a locally entrusted volunteer assigned as their case manager. These various programs include:
