Founding Story
Whenever I went out to that popular restaurant, it shocked me that they didn't have soup in their restrooms. Also a malfunctioned flushing and
drainage system, cooks didn't even wear gloves while making our food! I started to talk to some people, and nobody cared because "who follows
the hygiene anyways?!" I went to infectious diseases department in my city, and yes, infectious diseases is very common in Egypt. That's when I
said "I'm going to do something about that" It was founded when I was in Connecticut, US. I and 3 of my business colleagues in Egypt agreed on
launching the project.
Team
It's not been discussed yet who is going to do what. Since I've been taking exams since my return to home.
