Copts In Need (CIN) is a registered non-profit charity based in the UK, dedicated to alleviating extreme poverty in Egypt and Sudan. Founded by its members during a charitable visit to Upper Egypt in January 2009, CIN was inspired by witnessing inhumane living conditions and a strong desire to make a difference.
DR Awad Ibrahim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Copts In Need, engaged in discussions with Dr. Samy Wassef and Dr. Nabil Isshak of GCCE-UK to explore opportunities for collaboration. This partnership led to joint visits to the global centers at Tema and Tahta, where they witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by cancer patients, including young mothers. As a result of the collaboration and the observations made during the visits, Copts In Need made a decision in 2017 to provide regular support to some of the poor cancer patients they encountered. This initiative demonstrates CIN’s commitment to improving the lives of those affected by cancer, particularly those in vulnerable situations.
Copts In Need is operated by a board of trustees based in the UK, ensuring effective governance and strategic direction. The charity collaborates closely with dedicated volunteers in Egypt and Sudan, who play a crucial role in implementing CIN’s initiatives and extending support to those in need.
Through their affiliation with Copts In Need, GCCE-UK has found a partner dedicated to alleviating poverty and improving the lives of cancer patients. The collaboration between CIN and GCCE-UK has resulted in joint visits, shared insights, and a commitment to ongoing support for vulnerable cancer patients. By working together, these organizations are making a significant impact in the fight against poverty and cancer in Egypt and Sudan.
