THE CHALLENGE WE FACE

1.4 million orphans in Egypt alone — the system needs transformation

140M

children without parental care in the world (UNICEF, 2014)

UNICEF estimates 140 million children globally live without parental care. Most are in institutions, even though family-based care produces far better outcomes.

35M

children without parental care in Africa (SOS Children's Village, 2023)

Africa carries one of the heaviest burdens of child care crisis. Egypt, at its heart, shoulders responsibility for the MENA region’s largest orphan population.

1.4M

Many leave care at 18 with no family support, no savings, and no preparation. Sanad works to change this from the root.

Our Approach: Systemic Change

We don’t just support individual children — we transform the entire alternative care ecosystem: developing care homes, empowering caregivers, facilitating Kafala, and preparing youth for life after care.

Success stories

Real lives, real change

For 16 years Sanad has been supporting the ecosystem of alternative parental care through its innovative solutions, community awareness initiatives, and the services it provides for the rehabilitation of orphaned youth. Sanad contributes to a world where these young people can actually be change makers and shape their own future.

WHAT WE DO

Three pillars. One mission.

Our programs work across every layer of the care system — from preventing family breakdown to advocating for national reform.

Prevention

Strengthening families before crisis. We work with at-risk families to prevent unnecessary separation and keep children with their biological or extended kin.

Protection

Ensuring quality alternative care. We develop care homes, train and empower caregivers, and facilitate Kafala so every child grows up in a nurturing family environment.

Advocacy

Driving national reform. We influence policy and systems so the whole ecosystem of alternative parental care improves for generations of children to come.
