Welcome to Little Stars - Luxor Children's Trust Fund
How do Luxor’s orphans and abandoned children get by? How do families survive on what can be as low as £5 or £6 per month when world prices are spiralling upward? How do those children with disabilities manage in a hostile environment that is 95% desert and stricken with poverty when they are outside the school system and there is no treatment available? The answer to all those questions is simple. Without your help they will not manage at all. There is no danger of a child falling through the welfare net, because there is no welfare net to catch any of them. With your support, Little Stars will assist abandoned,
orphaned, disabled and disadvantaged children
in Luxor regardless of their gender or their
religion. A
winged Isis was chosen as the Little Stars mascot
because by legend she is the protector of children.
If asked to protect children she will hold them in
her arms and enfold them in her wings of love and
peace. The aim of Little Stars is to protect all children
in that way.
Little Stars is registered with the United Kingdom Charity Commission and, to ensure that we work entirely within Egyptian law, it is also registered with the Egyptian Social Services and authorities. This means that we are properly licensed for all our activities and undergo regular inspections of our work. The registration process took a long time and involved a great deal of work. Many of our projects were delayed during the process but now they can proceed with all the necessary paperwork in place. Have a look through our website and consider making a donation to the fund or to sponsor an Egyptian family. The aims of the Trust are wide and Trust Funds are not bottomless pits. They need constant replenishing if they are to work and really make a difference. They need your support and that makes you important in the lives of children that you have never met but who are dependent on you. Show them that you care and that they are not forgotten by everyone. Many charities have a high percentage of expenses but Little Stars has no high cost European members of staff or expensive offices and apart from vital Egyptian staff, all work is done on a volunteer basis with most volunteers covering their own expenses. As we operate a system of complete disclosure, our accounts for the last three years are all on this website with a link on the About Us page. Interim figures indicate donations for the last year to be a magnificent £74,400. We now need your help more than ever. Please have a look at our latest newsletter to see photographs of the progress we have made in all fields. It is your help that made all this possible.
