- Was founded in 1977 by Dr. Ibrahim Abouleish in order to bring about cultural renewal in Egypt on a sustainable basis. SEKEM’s goals are to “restore and maintain the vitality of the soil and food as well as the biodiversity of nature” through sustainable, organic agriculture and to support social and cultural development in Egypt. By 2005, the organization had established a network of more than 2,000 farmers and numerous partner organizations in Egypt and began increasingly to seek to extend its “experience and acquired knowledge” to other countries, including India, Palestine, Senegal, Turkey, and – in partnership with the Fountain Foundation – South Africa.
