About RehabEgypt
Rehab Egypt is an Egyptian privately owned firm based in Cairo. Started in July 1999, its major objectives are:
- Establishing public awareness of various technological products available for children and people with special needs.
Working with international companies to make such products available to the Egyptian community as a start, moving on to other Arab countries eventually.
Working with international developers to produce Arabic-localized versions of products whenever applicable.
Working closely with all concerned governmental, non-profit and private organizations to assume a major role in the currently strong trend within Egypt at all levels to intensify care and development efforts aimed at people having special needs as well as regular education.
Making use of sister company InfoStar’s resources and expertise to achieve those objectives.
During its pre-establishment preparatory phase, Rehab Egypt built strong ties with several prominent companies in the special education and disability field such as:
- ACE Centre
- Don Johnston
- Penny & Giles
- Prentke Romich
- Saltillo Corporation
- Semantic Compaction Systems
- Semeco
- Semerc
- Simtech Publications.
Negotiations are currently underway with more companies to broaden the scope of products carried and needs addressed.
Concurrently, in its initial exploration stage Rehab Egypt established wonderful relations with major players in the special education and disability arena in Egypt; all of whom showed great enthusiasm towards our contemplated venture. Regretfully, high-tech products intended for people with special needs are virtually unheard of in Egypt, in spite of increasing efforts to improve those people’s lives, literacy and independence. We are going to change that situation by introducing a wide range of products, increasing awareness and initiating a supply channel to satisfy such needs. We will not focus on certain types of disabilities because no one else is offering any such products in Egypt, and maybe even in any other Arab country as far as the information we have shows. Someone has to start it all, and we have vowed to undertake that difficult yet enjoyable role.
In our initial efforts, we take full advantage of our elder sister’s resources and expertise. InfoStar enjoys extensive experience in the world of Information Technology services, with particular strength in specialized training, product localization and web-site development.
