Egypt : Children and Families at Risk
At least 16.7 million children live in poverty in Egypt, a total of 9.2 million living in extreme poverty. Extreme poverty in Egypt is classified as earning less than $US 1.40 per day.
In Cairo, there are about 600,000 street kids and many are living in the slums, about 300 of them in the city of over 20 million. Inhabitants of these areas suffer from lack of basic services, they have no electricity, water pipes or sewage system. Living on the streets has significant, life-long consequences for the children’s physical and mental health.
iConnect International is reaching out to impoverished children and families living in the slums of Cairo, bringing them Aid, offering Hope and sharing the Gospel, as well as helping with their education.
Christian Conference & Retreat Center, Slovakia
Renovation of the Christian Conference and Retreat Center in the High Tatra mountains. The Center was built by Christians right after WWII and confiscated by the communist government in 1948. It fell into disrepair as it was not properly maintained while being used for the communist youth retreats. As part of the post-communist restitution program in 1994, the building was returned to the Slovak Christians. Slow process of an expensive reconstruction was started soon after. Christian activities have been reinstated and keep growing every year. The reconstruction needs to be completed soon in order for the Center to become self-sustainable through increased capacity and quality service.

The current activities and services of the Center are available to the public. The Center is aspiring to reach into local communities and community groups, including schools and English learning youth. The Center has already served as a place for marriage counseling, restoration seminars and conferences. Renovation of the conference and meeting room and a proper thermal insulation of the building are clear and urgent priorities.
