Maggie Gobran is both a saint and a social entrepreneur. The daughter of an upper-middle-class family in Cairo’s Coptic Orthodox Christian community, Mama Maggie, as she is known, made the radical decision in her mid-thirties to give up her fashionable clothes and lifestyle to dedicate herself to serving children who live in the slums and garbage areas of Egypt. Today, Stephen’s Children, the charity she started, serves 32,000 families each year.<\/p>\n
