Projects Currently Available for Corporate Sponsorship

US$40,000	Sponsor a one-year training series for our nearly 300 grassroots volunteers* in Egypt… and prepare them to empower over 6500 fatherless children from impoverished rural and urban areas to develop into healthy, educated, confident, responsible and caring adults.   Your contribution will provide: •  Assessment of training needs via the local team in Egypt. •  A qualified person or team of trainers to conduct the required training. •  Implementation of quarterly training for volunteers in four regions. •  Monitoring and evaluation of impact by staff. Your Report will include: •  A description of the training need based on the assessment •  A summary of the qualifications of the trainer(s), the training curriculum, the implementation plan, and associated costs •  Photos of the training workshops
US$25,000	Support the Emergency Housing Fund: Respond to urgent housing needs of children who need a safe, secure, and stable place to call home. Last year, Coptic Orphans spent US$21,049.00 to make critical repairs and improvements of the homes of 28 fatherless children. The costs for each home ranged from US$121 to US$2318, and addressed crucial issues such as collapsing roofs, securing a home with a door, proper installation of electricity so children can study at home, or providing a sanitary and private toilet. Where feasible, the family and a local community partner contribute to repairs with whatever resources they can, leveraging your support. Your Report will include before and after pictures with a description of each situation and the amount spent on repairs. See a previous report.
US$10,000	Sponsor a Valuable Girl Project site: Promote positive self-esteem, academic achievement, and civil and social rights amongst girls and young women between the ages of six and twenty-two who are at risk of dropping out of school in some of the poorest areas of Egypt. Young women in secondary school are paired with girls in primary school in a one-on-one mentoring relationship, and meet together at a designated site several times a week to go over homework together and attend tailored workshops to help them overcome social, civil, and personal obstacles. Through the Valuable Girl Project, girls are able to access vital and age-appropriate information on subjects such as reproductive health, the dangers of early marriage, and FGM in a safe and appropriate environment, while learning how they can play an important role in shaping their lives and that of their communities, for the better. Sponsorship will provide the facility, needed supplies, and resources to support approximately 70 girls at a single project site for a year. Your Report will include: •  A description of the community where the site is located •  The number and ages of the girls participating at the location •  Photos of homework sessions and quotes from some of the girls on how their involvement has impacted their lives
US$5,000	Sponsor books for 2000 children: Spread the joy of reading and inspire imaginations of children by letting each of them choose his or her own, special book at workshops and book fairs in some of the most remote parts of Egypt, where most homes don’t hold a single book. Your Report will include: •  A representative list of the books purchased and distributed •  The number of children who received books •  Photos of the children receiving and enjoying their new books at the workshops and book fairs
