ACE - Animal Care In Egypt
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever felt like your heart was going to break? That sensation when you see something you just can't imagine possible and you have no control over? That happened in the dusty back streets of Luxor, Egypt. Kim and her Aunt Julie, whilst on holiday, saw people struggling to feed their families and abusing their means to do so. Small underfed donkeys being beaten and suffering from neglect by owners who needed them so badly. What could be done?

Julie Wartenberg has always had a love for Egypt and strong interest in Egyptology, and kindly brought her Niece, Kim Taylor for various holidays to explore the country.

Kim Taylor was not really 'into' Egyptology, but was constantly looking at the condition of the working animals in the back streets of Luxor. So Kim and Julie devised a way to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about the things that they were seeing.

"In life we often see things that we would like to change, but to get the opportunity to totally change your life around and put your ideas into action is rare" - Kim Taylor.

Julie Wartenberg used her retirement package from IFAW as a set up cost for the new charity which enabled ACE to rent a small piece of land and build a washing area. As well as donating a large sum of her own money in towards the running costs in our first few years. Julie also worked tirelessly to organize all the paperwork needed to set up a charity in Egypt and the UK, along with relentlessly fundraising to ensure the future of ACE.

ACE is an ever-growing, great team of professionals and volunteers all working towards the same goal - To relieve and prevent the suffering of the animals in Egypt.
