Building More Than Homes
A safe home is more than four walls and a roof. It provides security, dignity, privacy, and the foundation for a healthier and more hopeful future.
Across many rural communities in Upper Egypt, thousands of families continue to live in unsafe and inadequate housing. Homes are often constructed from mud bricks, with damaged or missing roofs, poor insulation, limited sanitation, and little protection from the elements. These conditions can have a significant impact on health, education, and overall quality of life.
At Copts In Need, we believe that everyone deserves a safe place to call home. Through our Housing & Construction programme, we build new homes, replace unsafe roofs, and renovate existing properties, giving vulnerable families the opportunity to live in safe, secure, and dignified accommodation.
A Sustainable Approach
Our projects are delivered in partnership with trusted local communities and suppliers throughout Upper Egypt. Wherever possible, we source materials locally and employ local builders, electricians, plumbers, and skilled tradespeople, helping to support the local economy while ensuring projects are completed efficiently and to a high standard.
When appropriate, adult members of beneficiary families are encouraged to participate in the construction process. This not only helps reduce labour costs but also creates a sense of pride, ownership, and involvement in building their new home.
The generosity of local suppliers also enables us to maximise every donation through discounted or donated building materials, allowing more families to benefit from our projects.
Our Impact
Since our journey began in 2009, Copts In Need has:
- Built 4,700 homes
- Constructed 1,078 roofs
- Invested millions of pounds in improving housing and living conditions across Upper Egypt
Every completed project represents far more than a building. It provides families with protection from the elements, improved health, greater privacy, and the stability needed to build a brighter future.
Where We Work
Our Housing & Construction projects are delivered across several communities in Upper Egypt, including Abnoub, El-Fath, Tahta, El-Baliana, Tama, Sohag, Beni Mazar, Samalout, and El-Flaheen.
As needs continue to grow, we remain committed to reaching more families and expanding our work to communities where safe housing is needed most.
Help Build a Home
A safe home can transform a family’s future.
Every donation helps us provide secure housing for families living in extreme poverty, giving them the opportunity to live with dignity, safety, and hope.
Whether you choose to make a one-off donation, fundraise, or support one of our building projects, your generosity will help create lasting change for families across Egypt.
