Impact: Egypt
UK Gift Aid
Verified for authenticity.
We are a group of students from the West (UK, US, France, Holland, Canada, & Australia) currently studying in Cairo, Egypt. Having been moved by the poverty in the surrounding areas.
EgyptAid is a charitable organization with a 100% donation policy, operating in Egypt for the past 9 years. Directed by sheikh Ala, we have a few local scholars at the helm, and it is supported by a number of students of knowledge who volunteer with their free time.
The people being supported are the poor and disadvantaged of Cairo, and some village districts south of the country. The recipients predominantly range from orphans, widows, divorcees, families of prisoners, and the disabled and terminally ill.
We distribute food parcels and cash support to the needy on a weekly basis, we provide monthly sponsorship of a number of orphanages and charitable centres including students of knowledge from poor backgrounds, we annually support Quran memorisation centres and purchase essential stationary supplies for children. We also assist the sick and ill with medical expenses and cover the costs of the medicine required.
In Ramadan we hand out hot meals to nearly 2000 people daily, and bless the children with Eid clothing and toys on the day of Eid.
Many families live on less than $2/£1.63 a day, no donation is too small.
May Allah عز وجل reward you for your help and accept it from you and us.

Establish A Hospital in Tabba - Cairo
Help establish a hospital in one of the most derelict areas of Cairo. The area has a population of around 2 million people. Currently most patients either cannot afford treatment or travel hours to find cheaper treatment. We have been donated a building, prepped and ready. The only obstacle is the lack of any medical equipment and materials to get the hospital up and running. An estimated £45,000 is required to establish this hospital.

Eid for Orphans 2023
Unfortunately a vast majority of the Egyptian children don’t get that chance to experience the joy of new clothing and gifts on the day of Eid. Some go without shoes throughout the year, while wearing clothes too small or damaged, unsuitable for their protection.
Share the joy this Eid by giving an orphaned or disadvantaged child a gift through EgyptAid. Your donation will be used to buy clothing and toys, designed to bring a smile to the little gems. The gifts are distributed on the days of Eid to the orphans and families.
Just £10 can provide an Eid Gift for children, which includes new clothes, shoes, toys or any combination of the three.

A group of brothers from London UK, have taken on the challenge this Ramadan 1444AH to cycle 1000km through London whilst fasting.
With the goal to raise funds for the poor in Egypt and the ongoing projects carried out by EgyptAid.
From the establishment of a Hospital to providing food packs and other basic necessities for the orphans & widows etc.
Orphan Sponsorship
Amongst the many members of society, orphans are among the most vulnerable. This is particularly true in Egypt where there is little social support and where services are largely inadequate.
Egypt is home to 1.7 million orphaned children. Many of them are forced to work young in dangerous environments due to poverty. In order to survive, most of them resort to begging or crime.
The noble values which Islam has laid out can be summarily understood by looking at the importance the religion has given to looking after orphans.
Alhamdulillah, Egypt Aid supports hundreds of orphans, helping safeguard their iman and providing them a chance where there once was not.
The monthly cost of sponsoring an orphan is as follows:
What will your sponsorship provide?
Basic medical care, food, education & clothing.
Transforming a life costs us little but provides for us a route into Paradise. It is a means of continuous charity as the donor receives rewards for all the good that the sponsored child does and will do once given the opportunity.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said,
“The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate.
(Sahih Al Bukhari, 5659)
Ramadan Food Parcel 2023/1444
The Prophet (ﷺ) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to become more generous in Ramadan when Gabriel met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night during Ramadan to revise the Qur'an with him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then used to be more generous than the fast wind.
قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ، وَأَجْوَدُ مَا يَكُونُ فِي رَمَضَانَ، حِينَ يَلْقَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ، وَكَانَ جِبْرِيلُ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ يَلْقَاهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَيُدَارِسُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَلَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَجْوَدُ بِالْخَيْرِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ.
Ramadan is here, and we need your support, hundreds and thousands need you… orphans, widows, sick, poor, disabled, students, elderly…
The bulk of the recipients of food parcels are widows and women in general. It's a sad state and a very sad situation for most. This small relief of food at least settles the families for a few weeks. Please support our sisters in Egypt.
Ramadan Iftar 2023/1444
Zayd ibn Khalid reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِ الصَّائِمِ شَيْئًا
Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person, he will have the same reward as him without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.

Udhiya/Qurbani 2022/1443
Once again EgyptAid is giving you the chance to offer Udhiya/Qurbani in Egypt, allowing you to fulfil your obligation, while feeding the poor and the forgotten.
Prescribed in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, Udhiya/Qurbani is one of the great symbols of Islam. It is an emphasised Sunnah, and carries great merit and reward.
Jabir ibn Abdullah reported:
I was present with the Prophet (ﷺ), on Eid Al-Adha at the place of prayer. When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished his sermon, he came down from his pulpit and a ram was brought to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered it with his own hand, saying:
“In the name of Allah and Allah is the greatest. This is from me and those of my nation who cannot offer a sacrifice.”
Al-Tirmidhi said, ‘This was acted upon by the people of knowledge among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) and others, that a man should say at the time of slaughtering:
“In the name of Allah, and Allah is the greatest.” It is the opinion of Ibn al-Mubarak.’
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَضْحَى بِالْمُصَلَّى فَلَمَّا قَضَى خُطْبَتَهُ نَزَلَ عَنْ مِنْبَرِهِ فَأُتِيَ بِكَبْشٍ فَذَبَحَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ:
"بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ هَذَا عَنِّي وَعَمَّنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي"
قال الترمذي وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا ذَبَحَ: "بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَر"ُ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ
With the blessings of Allah سبحانه و تعالى, last year 2021/1142, which was our first year offering Udhiya/Qurbani services, left us overwhelmed with the response from the Muslim Ummah in providing for the impoverished of Egypt.
We were able to sacrifice 176 animals for the auspicious occasion of Eid Al-Adha. Consisting of 170 Goats/Lambs, 4 Cows, and 2 Buffalo.
May Allah سبحانه و تعالى allow us to worship and remember Him as befits Him; and give us the ability to follow the traditions of His noble religion in the coming days.
