Join us this Harvest as we bring hope of a bright, full and engaging future to women in Egypt

Over 80 million people live in Egypt

In Egypt today more than a third of women cannot read or write

Women like Sabren Awad and her

family

As a young girl she was forced to leave school because of her parents traditions and beliefs. For years she was locked out of the world she was living in. Until she found out about classes that would transform her life.

The Coptic Orthodox Church Bless is providing free classes, stationery and

books. Everything necessary to support women in Egypt to learn to read and write.

Women can learn in a safe environment

together

In 2013, 1372 women learnt to read and write through the dedicated

support of our partner.

Women like Saheer Azey, who now aspires to be a police woman

Sabren (first slide) and Saheer (this slide) both attended classes run by COC Bless and now feel more confident and happy

By supporting us this Harvest, more women in Egypt will be able to attend classes and access an education that was once out of their reach.
