1
- A Strong Relationship with the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt
•
We work in 43 dioceses in Egypt: our relationship with the Coptic
Church means that we reach even the most remote areas
•
Each of our 270 local volunteer Reps in Egypt, the hands and feet
of Coptic Orphans on the ground, are nominated and blessed by their
local bishops
•
We constantly coordinate our work with bishops and priests at every
level in Egypt

- Global Diaspora Resources
•
Being based internationally in the Coptic diaspora gives us an ability
to bring a global perspective to our work in Egypt
•
As global professionals, we have access to resources around the world
3
- Efficiency and Effectiveness
•
Efficiency
The
Charity Navigator says that as a guideline, an organization should
dedicate at least 75% directly to its programs. Coptic Orphans dedicated
more than 87% of its expenses to its programs in 2007 and 91% in
2006. Read More
•
Effectiveness
Coptic
Orphans takes a development approach to our work. That means that
we invest in addressing root causes of issues as well as meeting
short-term needs. Investing in knowledge and expertise means that
every dollar goes farther in its impact for children in Egypt.
