Coptic Orthodox Church and Human Fraternity Foundation sign cooperation protocol

Pope Tawadros II witnessed the signing of a cooperation protocol between the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Human Fraternity Foundation to cooperate in the fields of social and medical service, according to the Coptic Orthodox Church and Al-Dostor.

Cooperation and services

The protocol was signed by Archpriest Moussa Ibrahim, the spokesperson for the Coptic Orthodox Church, and Monsignor Youannes Lahzi, representing the Human Fraternity Foundation. The agreement aims to consolidate cooperation, human and community integration, and the synergy of efforts to serve target groups and achieve sustainable development goals by establishing a framework for joint work.

Monsignor Youannes Lahzi, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Human Fraternity Foundation, reviewed several projects, including an orphanage in the New Capital, the Bambino Gesu project, and a medical convoy project at the Italian Hospital. The medical convoy project provides free treatment, examinations, and surgeries to children and their families and treated approximately 9,000 cases during the past year, according to Al-Dostor.

Shared mission

Pope Tawadros II said that social work in the Church is characterized by being wrapped in the spirit of love that does not differentiate between one human being and another. He also indicated that the services provided by the Human Fraternity Foundation represent a great work because they offer the love of Christ to every human being.

Archpriest Moussa Ibrahim emphasized that cooperation between entities produces results and fruits harvested by the needy. He noted that joint work gives service greater depth and translates the Christian commandment of love into practice, according to the Coptic Orthodox Church.
