ESMA (Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals), a no-kill animal shelter in Egypt, was founded in 2007, by ten phenomenal individuals.  Because of the obvious lack of attention to mistreated, abandoned and abused animals, we have come together from all walks of life and backgrounds and created a  safe haven for the four-legged creatures who cannot speak for themselves.  All founders are business professionals as much as animal rights activists, whether full-time or part-time. Together we have noticed the severe shortage of animal welfare groups here in Egypt and thus ESMA was established.  All have the same goal in mind and created a place for animals in need; creating public awareness and educating the children of this country.

Our Story & Motivation

The true motivation and bonding factors were two incidences in early 2007, as Egyptian police officers were once again ordered to go on a stray-dog killing mission.  Among the 15 dogs shot that day was one pregnant female with two bullets hitting her in her stomach and through the mouth, keeping her alive for 15 excruciating minutes while her unborn puppies spilled out of her abdomen onto the dirty street as people and children just walked passed.  This female was named ESMA.  (click to see her photo - graphic!)

The second incident occurred the next day in a very affluent section of Cairo, in Mohandeseen.  An American Diplomat (Andrea Adler) had been caring for these two strays for more than nine months, feeding them every single evening and even using them as assistants in her dog training sessions.  She named them Black Jack and Bandit. Both were shot at in the morning right outside her window (she never heard the shots), where they lay in the blistering sun and heat all day, in the middle of the street, with people having to step over and around them to be able to continue on their merry way.  (click to see their photo - graphic!)

                    Our shelter and this site is dedicated to "Esma", "BJ" & "Bandit." 
                                    May you rest in peace, our sweet angels.

With newfound spirit, motivation and enthusiasm, we, the founders and volunteers of ESMA are taking on the daily challenges of all animals in need. We are working closely together with worldwide animal rights groups to create not only national but international awareness and solutions.
