Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
This ministry works to educate, provide food and medical care to a group of people who have no hope and who generation after generation are thrown out like the trash they live in... but Stephen's Children comes in and shines light and hope in the darkness. Taking these children and showing them they have value and hope in God's eyes and teaching them the love of God then in turn teaching them to reach out to the ones younger then them and helping them out. In effect, changing the lives of generations of children and families.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Through volunteers on the ground in Egypt who are Egyptian, schools are built in the garbage district that offer education, food, medical care and lots of love. They surround the entire family, not just the child attending and offer home visits where food parcels, prayer and support are offered. Vocational training for parents, camps for kids and much more are offered through community centers built right in the garbage slums changing their world from the inside out. The U.S. office seeks to share their story and partner with them through resources and funds and volunteer trips to share the light and hope of our brothers and sisters in need in Egypt.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
In Egypt there are over 2,000 volunteers making this ministry one of the largest in the Middle East.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Over 100 Community education centers and schools have been built ,over 40,000 children are educated and fed each year, over $1.7 million people have been assisted. Two K-12 schools have been built in the garbage districts. a third school is underway. A medical Center has been built and established, serving 10,000+ cases in the 1st half of 2023. A leadership training school has been established and is growing.

STEPHENS CHILDREN FOUNDATION
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Equity strategies
Last updated: 09/07/2023GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
