Under the Nile is built on a philosophy based on families. They believe that the families that produce their product are as important as the families that purchase them. From the time the cotton seeds are planted, to the growing, weaving and sewing, each and every product is made with both you and their community in mind. Each person is valued for their unique talent and loving commitment to the high quality that makes Under the Nile so special. By cultivating organic cotton, they cultivate the community and the environment that make it possible. They believe that providing work, as well as education and health care, are necessary to help impoverished communities become self-sustaining. In doing this, they are keeping our promise to support our community and foster health and harmony.
In addition, Under the Nile contributes to the development of independent and self-sustained communities. 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. Under the Nile provides excellent health care, as well as education on dental and overall physical health. They begin by educating the villagers on how to make their fruit and vegetable toys. Each village receives an advance for their work and the materials needed to produce that toy. Upon completion, they pick up the finished goods and pay them fair wages for their work.
