History

Established in 1998.

Here at Under the Nile, we are all about family-​that is the reason we started out company 10 years ago. As parents, we struggled to find clothing that was suitable for our babies’ sensitive skin, and we wanted to find a healthy alternative to conventional cotton. We combined our love for both our smaller family and our global one, and Under the Nile was born. Through cultivating organic cotton, we seek to cultivate the community that grows it. We have a passion to fight poverty and to offer the Egyptian people a better way of life-​through work, vocational and education education training, and by providing them health care. We seek to help the environment by planting ans producing high quality cotton without the use of harmful pesticides and insecticides. Concern for the environment, humanity and ethical business practices harmoniously in one.
