2. Bread to Share project 

The corona pandemic has struck worldwide, including Egypt. The economic consequences of the lockdowns have become tangible everywhere in a short time. It is always the groups of people who have already struggled who first experience the consequences of an economic crisis. This also applies to the Egyptian society. "Bread to Share" is a project started by the Foundation House of Life in July.

With this project, fourteen families in the village of Abydos, the families with sick paretns and the widows with their children, are provided with the flour to bake the typical Egyptian breads the coming year.

A 50 kg bag of flour costs around $ 12, - or € 11, - With this amount of flour the families can bake their breads for two weeks. We are happy with every donation to buy as many bags of flour as possible so that there is enough "Bread to Share" for the families in Abydos who needs our support.

Foundation House of Life fund

How does the House of Life support these projects? 

House of Life Healing Centre 

The House of Life was built to be a healing center. We therefore follow the policy that 5% of the coaching and training costs will go to the Foundation House of Life. By this policy we give those who cannot afford the full coaching and training costs of one of our programs a chance to follow a program for a reduced price. If this fund will not be used, the Foundation House of Life will spend the amount for the social projects in the village of Abydos. 

House of Life Hotel

The House of Life Hotel intends to donate 5% of the booking proceeds annually after deduction of all fixed costs to the Foundation House of Life fund.
