With the paradox that exists in developing countries between the very rich & the very poor, Saray Church started a special weekly meeting to the urban poor.

   Our hope is to integrate them into the main stream of the community.

    We started in a home ,then as the group increased they moved to a church hall, now they meet in the sanctuary, because they are 150 women plus their children.

    There is a sermon every tuesday and a lot of Gospel songs.

    We discovered the high rate of illiteracy among them, so we had some classes, using CEOSS material to teach literacy.

    We also developed some classes for sewing as we provided some sewing machines.

    And finally we moved from charity to development, and we did so through creating a Loan Program. Some women were empowered by this program by buying and selling fruits and vegetables, or by raising chicken.

    We also had to solve their  medical problem, that is why we founded the "Center for Healing & Hope Clinic". It is not far from where they live and it serves them with a very good health care for a symbolic fees .
