Homes For Children

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27

Mama Maggie’s Homes for Children for Abandoned Children

In the heart of Egypt’s most impoverished communities, Mama Maggie Gobran, affectionately known as the “Mother Teresa of Cairo,” has redefined the concept of care for abandoned and vulnerable children. Through her organization, Stephen’s Children, Mama Maggie has created a network of Children’s Homes that provide a safe haven for children in dire circumstances. These homes are more than mere shelters; they are transformative spaces where children can reclaim their dignity, discover hope, and build brighter futures.

LOVE

Mama Maggie’s homes are rooted in a profound philosophy: every child deserves love, respect, and the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background. Abandoned children often face societal stigma, neglect, and cycles of poverty. In response, Mama Maggie’s homes foster a nurturing environment that prioritizes emotional healing, education, and personal growth. By meeting the physical, educational, and spiritual needs of the children, these homes serve as catalysts for breaking the generational cycle of poverty and despair.

The homes provide more than just basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter. They deliver a comprehensive model of care:

Education: From early childhood are provided religious training and each home emphasize the power of learning and sharing to uplift children from adversity. Children are encouraged to develop their faith in Christ, and work toward self-reliance.

Healthcare and Nutrition: Regular medical checkups, hygiene education, and nutritious meals ensure the children’s physical well-being.

Emotional and Spiritual Support: The homes cultivate a sense of belonging and self-worth through counseling, mentorship, and spiritual guidance.

Our approach is designed not only to care for children but also to empower them in their Christian faith. Many of them become outstanding leaders and step into programs where they can then help others to step out of the cycle of poverty.
