The Sekem Effect now available
When Dr. Ibrahim Abouleish founded Sekem in 1977, his visionary aim was to create a new kind of sustainable community in the Egyptian desert where high quality biodynamic crops were grown, where workers and residents received holistic healthcare, and their children received a meaningful education.
In the years since, Sekem has gone from strength to strength, building an impressive network of farms across Egypt and Sudan, and working with local populations to bring about real social change.
The Sekem Effect is an inspiring book in which Helmy Abouleish, son of Dr. Abouleish and Chief Executive of Sekem—alongside Christine Arlt—describes the next stage in the development of this innovative community.
Through a series of pioneering projects, they set out their vision for an integrated transformation of Egyptian society in the coming decades in areas relating to ecology, economics, culture, and social transformation.
