From Brokenness to Healing: Caring for Working Animals in Egypt

Animal Aid Abroad (AAA), together with our new partner Animal Care in Egypt (ACE), is transforming the welfare of working equines in Egypt by providing lifesaving veterinary care and compassionate treatment. In April alone, ACE treated an astonishing 2,000 donkeys and horses, including intensive hospital care for 23 donkeys and 28 horses.

ACE’s outpatient clinic delivered care to:

• 1,400 donkeys

Hospital Admissions: Intensive Care for the Most Vulnerable

In April, ACE admitted 23 donkeys and 28 horses requiring specialized treatment. These animals received advanced veterinary care, pain management, and rehabilitation — ensuring dignity and relief for equines who had endured years of neglect and overwork.

Small Animal Clinic Expands Reach

ACE also provided routine treatments for 1,200 dogs and 1,300 cats, alongside spay/neuter surgeries for 52 cats and 2 dogs. This holistic approach demonstrates ACE’s commitment to improving welfare for all animals in Egypt.
