Under the Nile

Since 1998, Under the Nile has been designing innovative and high quality organic cotton clothing and toys. But Under the Nile is doing more than just providing healthy toys for customers -- they're also providing healthier living conditions for impoverished people in Egypt as proud participants of the 13-Villages-Project designed to fight against poverty in rural Egypt.

The '13 Villages Project' is a campaign co-conducted by Under the Nile and its Farm in Egypt (Sekem). It takes place in 13 rural villages in Sharkeya, Egypt. Through vocational training and infrastructural development, the project is improving the health, skills and overall well being of the village inhabitants, so workers have the opportunity to learn a trade, receive dental and health care, and earn fair wages for their work.
