At a recent interfaith conference held in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, Iran’s representative, Zahra Rashidbeigi, failed to address Iran’s history of religious freedom violations. Iran has a well-documented record on this score; according to the Open Doors World Watch List on Christian persecution, Iran is the 8th worst country for Christian persecution.

When ICC launched another Hope House in 2019, Sosna Rizk was one of the students who benefited from the center’s efforts. In February, she was scoring poorly on her testing exams and was admitted into the child sponsorship program. Only eight months into the child sponsorship program, Sosna is back on grade level and is even scoring highly in math.
Hope House seeks to empower young women like Sosna, to encourage them to consider what their futures could look like. As with many poorer, Egyptian Christians, it is frequently considered that there is little place for women in education. Girls are needed at home to maintain the household, a task that may not require formal education.
Would you consider partnering with ICC to help fight the generational persecution that Christians in Egypt face? To learn more about ICC’s Hope House or provide a financial gift, visit:https://bit.ly/3DYQogp. To inquire about sponsoring a child, contact ICC at icc@persecution.org.
