Refugee Emergency Relief Efforts. Donations appreciated!

Refugees in Cairo have become increasingly vulnerable because of the recent unrest in Cairo, many if not most of the NGOs or agencies usually serving them are closed or working on a limited-staff basis.

Staff from St. Andrew's and other organisations have been in contact with Tadamon organisation which is currently running food distribution around the city for the most extreme and vulnerable cases. Everything is welcome, rice, pasta, vegetables, canned food, fruits, milk, clothes, blankets, everything. If you're not in Cairo but still have stuff here to handover, contact us and we will arrange.
Depending on the security situation we plan to be at St. Andrew's Sunday from 10am to 1pm if you want come and drop some stuff, or if you prefer we can come to your place during the afternoon. Anyhow, even if it's 1 kg of rice, contact Maelle by email (maelle.pelletier@gmail.com) or by phone 0166077047. Thanks!

Toward the same end we will accept financial contributions. These will go toward emergency food provisions and to help prevent evictions by providing temporary rent assistance to especially at risk refugees. We have several channels through which we can receive donations, depending on location.

Contributions from the U.S. and Europe are welcome and will be received via transfer to local bank accounts in those countries. If you are interested in helping in any way please contact me (meli.holmes@gmail.com) for more details.
