Mission Statement

Its mission is to fight poverty through certain programs providing humanitarian assistance to help people in need in certain countries in the world. People with minimum finances have difficulties meeting their basic, educational, and health needs.

Santa Verena Charity works with local leaders and members of targeted communities to aid and develop individuals and communities by meeting their financial needs so they can cover food, health, and education costs

About This Cause

Who we serve: Most of our aid focuses on Egypt-the mother country of the Coptic Orthodox Church. However, we also serve in Bolivia, Kenya, Brazil, Mexico and Hawaii through short-term trips and projects. Why we serve: We serve those in need because it is our duty as Christians, and by serving we become co-workers with God. It is possible to summarize Santa Verena’s work with the passage in Matthew chapter 25 beginning from verse 31 to the end of the chapter. In this passage, our Lord Jesus Christ clearly gives us the command to serve. He promises eternal life to those who feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the sick. This kind of charity work fulfills our love for God by following His commandments and our love for our neighbors by helping them live better. “But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in Him?” 1 John 3:17 Our Lord Jesus Christ is of course, our greatest example of a servant. As Isaiah prophesied, Christ was sent ” to preach good tidings to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, and open the prison to those who are abound.” Isaiah 61:1 Our programs include Sponsoring a family, help with medical needs, fixing homes that have no roofs, provide scholarships to children so they can go to school and learn to get out of poverty. We also help young women with the cost of getting married. Santa Verena assists in crises and help victims of several tragic attacks. Also during COVID-19 Pandemic, Santa Verena is there to help. Doing good basically depends on the heart that loves God and others. One must be ready to give from his own desire since doing good depends neither on abilities nor talents, but on the heart. The story of the poor widow who gave the two mites exemplifies the loving heart, and our Lord Jesus Christ praised her.
