Adequate Housing: The Emergency Housing Fund of Not Alone

See Current Urgent Housing Needs Like The Ones Below

Sometimes the first step towards unlocking a child's God-given potential is providing access to the most basic of rights. How can a child study if he or she can't see in a dark room? Or how can a child think about the future when today presents the difficulty of hauling water from another village or the danger of thieves?

Coptic Orphans partners with fatherless families and their churches to provide adequate shelter. The families give what they can and have the pride of knowing they did their part. Generous donors do the rest.

Mary: From Hut to Home

Mary is 5 years old and has 3 older sisters. Her father use to work as a guard for construction projects in the desert, where they all lived (right). When the father died he left them with no protection. The mother feared for her daughters and was afraid to send them to school since they have to walk through the desert alone. They didn't have a door or even a bathroom. They were forced to use the outdoors as a bathroom. It was estimated the renovations to their new home would cost $3,200.

Today, Mary has a new home thanks to the support of donors who contributed to this project.

 

Nora: A Narrow Escape

Nora and her family used to live in two rooms on the second floor. With sagging mud walls and fragile support, The floor of their bedrooms threatened to collapse any moment.

With a contribution from Nora’s sponsor and the work of Coptic Orphans, the first floor was renovated. Mud brick walls were replaced with cemented painted walls to re-enforce the upper floor. The family moved into the newly renovated rooms. “The family is so grateful to Nadia [their sponsor] for her loving support,” Nora’s Rep reported.
