About Us - Animal Welfare of Luxor - Egypt

At AWOL we all passionately care about the welfare of animals and in turn the welfare of the family that owns them. Having spent many years living in Luxor, helping people care for their animals and getting to know so many families we realise that it is not cruelty but a lack of understanding and outdated practices that compound the hardship.

Though we have seen significant improvements to the animals on the east bank of Luxor and particularly the calash horses that give tourists tours of the town, the condition of the animals of the large farming community of El Marise, on Luxor's west bank, remain unchanged. Please support AWOL as we do all we can to improve the lives of amongst others the large number of dogs, horses and the extremely hard working donkeys through preventative medical care and education.

AWOL is making a real difference in the villages that form the farming community of El Marise and Armant working from our mobile unit - as you can clearly see from our diary pages - and we have bought land but we urgently need the extra funds that will enable us to build a basic medical centre where AWOL will be able to do so much more for the animals.

We are looking for like minded people to join us both in Luxor and in the UK to raise awareness and of course funds to help the community and especially the children grow with a better understanding for the animals that work so hard for them.
