Egypt — the birthplace of TOLI.
Since 2004, TOLI has distributed over 5,500 microloans in Egypt. The TOLI program has profoundly changed villages for the better, growing enterprise, stability, and economic freedom, all while sharing the love of Christ in word and deed. Our dynamic Partner Heliopolis Evangelical Church and the TOLI-Egypt leadership team have expanded the program to 16 sites throughout Cairo and down to El Minya.
