Empowering Coptic Families Through Small Business
Our program is dedicated to helping struggling Coptic families launch and grow small businesses.
Take Mariam, for example. With her husband facing health challenges, she needed a way to support her family. We provided her with a commercial oven to bake bread, and now she serves over 50 loyal customers from her church.
Mikhail is a shoe cleaner and repairman. We helped him purchase a commercial pickup tricycle, allowing him to reach more customers in nearby towns.
Hedra, who lives with a disability, runs a payment collection business. We helped him purchase a motorcycle, enabling him to serve more clients. His customers have grown from 600 to 730 so far.
Lastly, Ayman sells children’s toys but struggles with limited stock. By paying off his debt and supplying a wider variety, we helped him increase sales and profit margins.
With your support and partnership with the Coptic Church in Egypt, we’re breaking the cycle of poverty for these families.
Your Impact:
$500 helps start a new small business.

How the Small Business Aid Program Works
Every visit to a Coptic family in need sparks a vital question: How can we help them break free from the grip of poverty and achieve financial independence? Through our case studies, we uncover each family’s potential for success in business.
Once we approve a case, we pair the family with a dedicated church volunteer as their case manager. We handle everything—from purchasing essential machinery to completing legal paperwork—ensuring a smooth launch. When it’s time, we deliver the equipment to their business location, providing installation and hands-on training to ensure they’re ready to thrive.
Families can choose between two empowering small business development programs:
Grant Program: We help establish their business with a grant—no repayment necessary.
Loan Program: We offer a zero-interest loan with a manageable monthly repayment plan, encouraging responsibility and growth.
With your support and a strong partnership with the Coptic Church in Egypt, we’re transforming lives, one business at a time. Together, we can help qualified Coptic families start and nurture their own enterprises, paving the way for brighter futures!
