One Horizon’s Sustainable Programs in Egypt – Our Turn The Soil Program
Our sustainable programs in Egypt aim to facilitate economic empowerment to vulnerable communities. In a post Covid world, One Horizon’s programs have resonated with local Egyptian communities because of the immediate benefits they deliver. Our model of including like-minded travellers who share goals in our work has been the hallmark of One Horizon’s leadership in this area. In these field trips, you will get to understand how a farm operates in Egypt and see a collaboration between farmers and the government. The government has done an amazing job of enabling more farm land to be supplied with water from the Nile and in opening up more farmlands. Your farmer host becomes your guide as they explain how all this operates.
Our Excursions to Farms Are Inspiring
Our excursions to farms bring people from all walks of life together to help each other. A genuine collaboration which enables everyone to get involved and to ‘give back’. It’s travel with a purpose. Our guests enjoy the excursions immensely,. and our Egyptian families also earn an income from hosting guests. It’s a win-win situation for all.
