Additional Information
|
|
Mama Maggie is a Coptic Christian who, though has never taken formal vows, is known as the Mother Teresa of Cairo. For two decades, she has served the children in Egypt's slums through her organization, Stephen's Children, named after the first century Christian martyr.
|
|
|
Born Maggie Gobran, she became a professor at the American University in Cairo, a socialite and a successful businesswoman. But she gave up her career after she saw children living in abject poverty and decided to help them.
|
|
Mama Maggie has built 97 community medical centers and schools in the garbage slums and serves over 40,000 children and their families. Stephen's Children includes almost 2,000 home workers that teach Bible study, pray and bring food to families, risking their very lives to share the gospel in a 90-percent Muslim majority country that is hostile to Christians.
