Egypt Equine Aid Mission

Their mission has three main components:

1) providing needed veterinary services

2) aiding the local community

3) educating owners in the care of their animals and also encouraging kindness and compassion toward animals by educating children and young adults.

Egypt Equine Aid’s Outreach Initiatives

Egypt Equine Aid regularly hosts school groups of all ages whenever possible. They encourage the students to participate in clinic activities and interact with all of the EEA animals. 

They offer practical experience to local veterinary college students, who desperately need hands-on training.

EEA regularly hand out equipment such as nosebands, fly masks, halters, humane bits, and harness pads to farmers. They explain how those items help animals stay injury-free and healthy, thereby protecting the investment farmers have made in their animals.
