Our Mission: From Faith to Human Action

 

The Foundation Bambino Gesù of Cairo Philanthropic Entity of the Third Sector (ETS) is a non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to pursuing civic, solidarity, and social utility goals.

Our inspiration is deeply rooted in the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church and the universal principle of Human Fraternity. We believe that no person, especially children, mothers, and the most vulnerable individuals, should grow up without dignity, care, and opportunity.

 

Who We Are and What We Do

We are a Philanthropic Entity (as defined by Art. 37 of the Italian Third Sector Code) focused on the provision of money, goods, and services to support disadvantaged categories and activities of general interest, both in Italy and abroad.

We do not distribute profits: Every resource is entirely reinvested into our mission of active charity.

Our commitment translates into a wide spectrum of activities, ranging from healthcare to social inclusion:

  1. Health and Socio-Medical Assistance: We provide and support healthcare interventions, preventive and rehabilitative medicine, and socio-medical services.

  2. Social Protection for Minors: We operate through social interventions and services aimed at abandoned minors, expectant and new mothers, and non-self-sufficient families, offering paths to inclusion and support.

  3. Education and Training: We promote activities in education, instruction, and professional training to prevent school dropout and combat educational poverty.

  4. Scientific Research: We support scientific and technological research in the medical and health fields, with particular social relevance.

 

Our Pillars in Egypt: Transforming Lives

As our primary and inaugural initiative, the Foundation is committed to the creation and management of two fundamental structures in Cairo (in the New Administrative Capital area):

 

The “Bambino Gesù Women and Children's Hospital”

The ambitious project to build the first maternal and pediatric hospital outside Italy, inspired by the model of the renowned Italian institution. This facility will be a beacon of hope and health progress for thousands of Egyptian families.

 

The “Oasi della Pietà” Orphanage

A welcoming home for abandoned minors or children from non-self-sufficient families. The Oasi offers a protected environment, high-quality education, and professional training programs, such as the culinary school guided by international chefs, to ensure a dignified future for the children.

 

The Network of Solidarity

Beyond major structural projects, our mission is lived out daily through initiatives that fight poverty and injustice:

  • “Salus” Mobile Clinics: The initiative that brings free pediatric healthcare and prevention to the most remote and isolated regions of Egypt, promoting health as a universal right.

  • “Fratello” Solidarity Network (Restaurant Fratello): A charity project that distributes free meals and essential goods in a dignified environment, using systems like prepaid cards to preserve the self-esteem of beneficiary families.

  • House of Hope: A safe haven for women who are victims of domestic and gender-based violence, providing psychological, medical, legal support, and opportunities for social reintegration.

In all our initiatives, we safeguard the dignity of the person and the environment, acting without discrimination based on nationality, gender, age, ethnicity, or religion. Your support translates directly into this work of love and justice.
