Through our Sallam Centre Cairo, Goodwill Caravan is dedicated to supporting forcibly displaced families fleeing war and persecution into Egypt and those most in need. By ensuring they have access to reliable information and essential services through workshops, vocational training and providing much needed psychosocial support, we can work towards helping reduce the risk of exploitation.
The ever worsening situations in Gaza and Sudan have forced hundreds of thousands to flee into Egypt. It is estimated that since October 2023, more than 100 000 Palestinians have made the often dangerous and costly journey into Egypt. Following the outbreak of war in Sudan, more than 300,000 people have fled into Egypt. These vulnerable refugees face the immense task of rebuilding their lives in a new country.
Most of these forcibly displaced families do not have enough information or support to navigate the complex asylum process. Due to this, they face mounting difficulties in enrolling their children into schools, opening bank accounts, and securing employment. There is also an urgent need for legal and medical assistance, food and shelter. Our dedicated team in Egypt is on the ground, and ready to help. Fleeing the devastating effects of war, our mission is to help Sudanese and Palestinian Refugees in Egypt integrate into society so that they may have hope of building a better life for themselves.
We invite you to join us in supporting these families. Together, we can make a difference. Through our Goodwill Caravan Egypt Charter we are currently supporting families through:
Providing hundreds of families with essential food items.
Including Legal Workshops on Asylum and Protection Claims.
Refugee children urgently need mental health services due to severe trauma.
Providing the necessary skills to Refugees to secure employment and integrate.
A necessity for addressing medical emergencies
