Mission Trips to Egypt
Serve Coptic Families and Children
Care 4 Needy Copts organizes mission trips to Egypt that take you into the homes, schools, and communities of Coptic families living in extreme poverty. You will meet the people your generosity reaches, serve alongside our team on the ground, and come home with a deeper faith and a clearer view of what matters most. Whether you are a supporter who wants to see our work firsthand or a young adult ready to give two weeks to serve children in Upper Egypt, there is a trip for you.
Two Ways to Serve in Egypt:
Mission trip to Egypt
Our annual October mission trip brings supporters and volunteers to Egypt to see how your giving changes lives. You will visit needy families in their homes, spend time with young children on daycare visits, and meet people at our special needs centers and workshops. You will also visit patients and families at Misr Al-Mahaba Hospital and see our income-generating projects at work. Between visits, you will tour historic monasteries and churches, enjoy a dinner cruise on the Nile, and travel in air-conditioned vans with Wi-Fi.
Serve and shine
Serve and Shine is a youth mission trip for young adults ages 17 to 25. In June, volunteers from across the U.S., Canada, and the diaspora travel to Upper Egypt for 12 to 15 days of service. Each day, you will pray with your team, teach and play with elementary and middle school children, share meals with them, and visit their homes to meet their families.
The trip is free for first-time volunteers. There is a $50 application fee and a $150 deposit, which is fully refunded after you return. Applications open October 15 and close November 30.
