Not Alone Program

“…seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.”
- Isaiah 1:17, ESV

Our flagship program Not Alone, gives a child back the protection, provision, and confidence that he or she lost after a father’s death or abandonment.

Not Alone children gain the resources to break the cycle of poverty and the courage to become change-makers in their communities: all according to each individual child’s need.

We address both immediate and long-term needs so that Not Alone children develop academically, socially, and emotionally for success. They become literate and develop skills that help them achieve in school. Then, they develop their God-given talents so that they can not only overcome their own circumstances, but transform future generations.

Each of the hundreds of volunteer Representatives (Reps) in the Not Alone program work at the grassroots of their local villages and communities. We partner with the Coptic Orthodox Church to reach even remote communities and to address local needs. Our vast network of grassroots Reps and our close relationship with local church leaders mean that we are able to reach fatherless children nearly everywhere. From bustling metropolises along the .Mediterranean coast and Nile delta to the rugged villages deep in the heart of Egypt, we are determined to reach every vulnerable child. Meet A Few Coptic Orphans Reps.

Through our Reps, children enjoy:

Regular home visits, during which a Rep provides encouragement and mentorship while assessing individual child and family needs such as literacy, adequate housing, health, nutrition, or community advocacy;
Enrichment Trips that open a child’s vision and draw out their curiosity;
Workshops that encourage life skills like reading, goal setting, and critical thinking.

Consistent with empowering a child, we respect each child’s privacy and dignity at every step of the child’s participation with us.

The Proven Success of Not Alone
Over 11,000 children now have the security of food, education, and shelter
Over 7,000 children have now reached age-appropriate literacy.
Over 97% of Not Alone children have graduated to the next grade, in a nation where nearly 10% drop out every year.
