About Us
Rural Wellness Initiative Egypt was established to improve the health and wellness of our farming community through improving the health of farmers' animals. Our Egyptian outreach program, which includes a veterinary outreach service, started when the manager of Al Sorat Farm in Egypt noticed that animals living in the country were in need of medical attention. Farmers did not know how to keep their animals healthy, and there were few options in terms of veterinary care. Government vets were scarce and private veterinary options were above the farmers' means. Even if they could afford care, they couldn't pay for medications or the gasoline needed to transport their animals. We knew we could help.
