Every day, thousands of Gulf migrant workers are trapped in adverse working conditions. With all identification seized by the companies for which they work, it is difficult for these workers to advocate for their rights. One of the main issues faced by these workers is the extreme heat of the Gulf region. Faced with hard labour in the harsh desert sun, migrant workers often die of heart conditions
associated with heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Aegis aims to better the conditions of these migrant workers through a two step process:
1. Providing workers with cooling vests which will decrease the stress on their cardiovascular system leading to safer conditions for the migrants.
2. Establishing a support system through unifying grassroots movements to help advocate for the rights of these workers. Through innovation and awareness, Aegis is a not-for-profit organization aiming to improve the lives of migrant workers.
