Refuge Egypt

Refuge Egypt

Refuge Egypt is a Christian development organization that operates out of All Saint's Anglican Cathedral in Zamalek, Cairo. We seek to serve refugees regardless of background or relation .

Often, wherever refugees find themselves, they are met with the same message, "You're not wanted…" "You’re a burden to us"…The world and sometimes the church, views them as a threat and a burden; rather than people in need of compassion and refuge. They are unwanted, vulnerable and often exploited. Their journey is paved with tears of loneliness, rejection and discouragement. In Refuge Egypt, we are seeking to reach out to many who have fled war-torn countries and are seeking asylum. The ministry is very much part and parcel of the ministry of the overall strategy of the Diocese and operates most of its programmes out of the Cathedral premises.


Throughout the ages past, Egypt was called to be a refuge for strangers and refugees; including our Lord Jesus Christ, along with Joseph, Jacob and the Patriarchs. In 2006 we are thankful once again to the hospitality of the Episcopal Church of Egypt and their continued vision to minister to the many refugees passing through their gates. The Most Revd. Dr. Mouneer Anis (President Bishop of Jerusalem & the Middle East) along with Dr. Bahig Ramzy (Executive Director of The Diocese of Egypt) have continued to allow All Saints' Cathedral to be a place where refugees feel welcome and accepted and a place where they can find some respite from the troubles they are facing on a daily basis. Thank you once again to The Diocese of Egypt for seeing our clients as an opportunity to demonstrate God's love in action. The continued vision and support of our Governing Board (Site Committee) has been a real encouragement, enabling us to continue meeting the overwhelming needs of the refugee community here in Cairo. We are forever grateful to our Donors and Supporters worldwide, without whom we would cease to exist and operate. Your continued support and trust in us as an organization, has enabled us to meet our core objectives, and to build upon the strong foundations laid down by our predecessors. Also our heartfelt thanks to the entire Refuge Egypt staff & Management Team, whose unseen work behind the scenes is a credit to them all. Often they work above and beyond the call of duty with a heart and passion to serve the refugees within Egypt. All Glory goes to God!
