Call for board members (voluntary position)

Due to the departure of several long-serving and dedicated board members, St Andrew’s Advisory Board is looking for new members.

Do you have experience of sitting on a board? Running an NGO? Or perhaps your own company? Or fundraising?

If so and you would like to bring your expertise to the table as we enter a new and exciting time, please send your CV and a letter explaining why you are interested and what you feel you could bring to us to standrews.applications@gmail.com.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Our Mission

On 11 October, 1979, St. Andrew's United Church congregation inaugurated a refugee center in its Guild Hall. In its early days, "as many as 115 came for games, conversation and tea. In the early years there was also a rudimentary effort in English language instruction," provided by ESL teachers from the congregation ("A History of St. Andrew's United Church of Cairo," 1899-1999).
During the 1980s, with the influx of many refugees from the Horn of Africa, St. Andrew's expanded its refugee services to include education and advocacy. Most of the refugees have fled their homes in the Sudan and Horn of Africa due to war or famine, in order to seek safety and well-being in a nearby country.
Today St. Andrew's Refugee Services provides programming to refugees from Southern Sudan and Darfur, Somalia, Eritrea, Iraq and other nationals, refugees from 32 different countries. Services are delivered to refugees based on need and without discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, national origin, tribe, or religion. The refugees themselves are involved in the administration and staffing of the program whenever possible.
