I have witness firsthand what poverty does to families. How vulnerable a child is in such a situation. How can a mother think of her children’s education when she is faced with the tragedy of poverty, starvation . When she has no idea where the next meal will come from? We have serviced communities from South Carolina to Cairo, Egypt. Poverty has no color, race, religion or age.
Worldwide, 10 million children are exploited because of poverty and lack of education. S4S's goal is to assist in educating one child at a time to help bring this cycle an end.
We would like to take a moment Insha'Allah (God Willing) to bring your attention to a shoeless child, with matted hair, wearing soiled torn clothing, that hasn't eaten all day; and for that matter she can't remember the last time she has had a meal. Please take the vision of this one child and multiply it by thousands, and now you have a visual picture of the countless young children dwelling in graveyards throughout Egypt. Having no where else to live, they are praying for something to eat.
How does one witness this or hear of it and not want to reach out and help? S4S is a non-profit organization that has been serving families in Cairo, Egypt since 2003. Our primary goal is to assist children and their families who are homeless by distributing basic staples and clothing.
A group of volunteers and I make approximately 70 food bags twice a week or more when we are financially able. These bags are delivered to the children and their families who live in graves and in other destitute situations.
For $20 a month you can feed a family of four.
Above is a man who lives in the tombs shown in the background. He has just received one of our bags. Respect poverty and make a change.
A food bag consist of 1 kilo of orange lentils, ½ kilo brown lentils, 1 kilo rice, ½ kilo macaroni, 1 kilo sugar, a bar of soap, 1/2 kilo wheat mixture.
God Bless You for Your Generous Contibution.
