Every Child Deserves a Loving Home
Mission
Our mission is advancing quality care for orphans by advocating, educating, and developing resources for growing families. Yalla Kafala is creating a better life for orphans in Egypt by raising awareness and shattering stereotypes about Kafala (guardianship/adoption). We are here to ease and streamline the before and after of the kafala journey for prospective kafala families. We support these families by empowering them with the tools needed to navigate the legal requirements and the life stage of becoming a family; with an ultimate vision to raise healthy, emotionally intelligent humans.

Programs & Services
Launching a Wellbeing Community Center:
Providing our constituency with educational, legal, medical, and local volunteer services and professional referrals. Offering workshops for mental and physical nurturing and development. The center will cater to kafala families and orphaned children in the greater Cairo metropolitan area.
Kafala Family Advocacy: Advocating with the Egyptian Ministry for kafala parents' contractual rights and the orphaned children's long-term well-being against social stigma.
Beit Saghir (small home)
We are finishing our first facility for orphaned and at-risk children that didn't have the privilege of getting adopted.
Our first project is located in Maadi, Cairo, Egypt. Will accommodate 6 children. Beit Saghir is the last resort to save these abandoned children and give them a living, warm & caring home.
We offer these children the chance to become game changers in society and to break the stigma of being an orphan in Egypt.
We are investing in these children to give them the quality of life and top education to become future CHANGE MAKERS who will transform Egyptian society.
