Theodora Mission is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving more than 450 children with special needs across 11 centers in Egypt — providing physical and occupational therapy, education, medical care, transportation, home visits, and support for their families.
Theodora Mission runs 11 centers across Egypt where more than 450 children with disabilities receive physical and occupational therapy, schooling, medical care, transportation, and home visits — at no cost to their families. We are a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your donations pay for that care.
Theodora Mission is a US-based nonprofit dedicated to serving Egypt's children with special needs — children who are too often overlooked. Together with local church leaders and generous donors around the world, we deliver physical and occupational therapy, medical care, parental education, home visits, and joyful community activities.
Our overarching goal is to empower these children and their families — equipping them with the life skills they need to succeed, and the dignity they deserve.
See our impactAt Theodora, care begins with seeing the person. Our mission grew from a family's own experience of caring for a child with special needs. Today, that understanding guides our work with children and the families who love them.
Theodora began with a family who understood the love, challenges, and daily commitment of caring for a child with cerebral palsy. That personal connection remains at the heart of the mission.
Discover our mission
Children have different strengths, needs, and ways of learning. Through therapy, education, and skills development, we help them grow in ways that respect the individual—not just the diagnosis.
Discover our mission
Supporting a child also means supporting the people who care for them. Parental education, transportation, and home visits help families overcome barriers to care and stay connected to the mission.
Discover our mission
Our Coptic Orthodox faith calls us to recognize the God-given dignity of every person. We put that belief into practice through care, family support, and a community where people are valued.
