Egypt Appeal

Egypt has a population of 83 million, 44% of whom survive on less than $2 a day. Over ten million people struggle to feed themselves on a daily basis.

In recent weeks, many people across the North African country have been driven into further poverty, due to disrupted supply chains.

Islamic Relief (IR) has been working in Egypt for over 10 years, providing food to vulnerable families. We also run a rehabilitation centre for children living with disabilities in Helwan, near Cairo.

IR is appealing for funds to support and improve our development projects in Egypt.

With your help, we aim to provide food to the poorest families, support livelihoods and education and establish a training centre. With projects that tackle the root causes of poverty, it is hoped that benefits will be reaped for years to come.
