Helping horses and donkeys in Egypt live better lives
Egypt Equine Aid (EEA) is an Australian-registered charity founded in July 2014, dedicated to improving the welfare of working horses and donkeys in Cairo, Egypt. Our free equine veterinary clinic provides essential medical care to animals suffering from injuries, illnesses, and neglect.
At the core of Egypt Equine Aid is our free veterinary clinic, where we offer life-saving treatments to working horses and donkeys in need. From emergency care for injuries and illnesses to preventive treatments and rehabilitation, our clinic provides vital services that many owners would otherwise be unable to afford. Our dedicated veterinary team treats conditions like colic, lameness, tetanus, and infections, ensuring that these essential animals receive the care they deserve to live healthier, pain-free lives.
