With the start of the new year, we had a celebration for the children and distributed some gifts to them. We have distributed special gifts for those who shared the lessons with their friends. This is what we encourage them to do in our weekly Transformational Community Development (TCD)  lessons.

We had a partnership with another organisation to distribute food supplies. We distributed 140 boxes of food supplies to help the families during these hard times. The families were very happy to receive those boxes.

Jendayi* is the mother of four children. Her husband has heart problems, so she has to work because he is unable. They used to collect and sort garbage, but, because of the pandemic, their work stopped two months ago.
 

We prepared food boxes for families in desperate need, and we gave her a box. She was very happy, even though it wasn’t a big thing. She said she is grateful for the simple thing.

Thank you,

Even though we’re going through hard times in Egypt because of the COVID-19 crisis, we still worked on the following during this past month:

We are continuing to provide some grocery bags to those who have lost their jobs. Last week we learnt from the committee in Taha Village about a widow whose daughter is suffering from cancer, yet who did not visit the hospital due to the coronavirus.
 

It's a very bad and emotional time for the family. We visited the woman and provided food, and we coordinated with a doctor to provide necessary aid and medical assistance.
