A True Haven

Refuge Egypt is a program run by All Saints Cathedral, Cairo, in partnership with Anglican Aid. It is a Christian agency that seeks to reflect Jesus’ compassion and concern for those who are in need. 

Since war broke out in Sudan in 2023, around 1.5 million Sudanese people have fled to Egypt. Refuge Egypt serves people from Sudan and other African countries, living in Cairo, who have fled their original country of nationality due to war or disaster, and who have well founded fears of return due to persecution or loss of rights. As well as serving Sudanese, Refuge Egypt helps people who have come from Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Eritrea, and Ethiopia.

By providing humanitarian assistance, education, and encouragement, Refuge Egypt helps people to build self-sufficiency and self-respect in preparation for repatriation, resettlement or integration into Egyptian society.
