Our Mission
Our long-term vision is to set up supportive, educational clinics in rural areas of disaster-struck developing countries that rarely see veterinary or animal husbandry services. We educate whole families on animal management and health options to improve living conditions for themselves and their livestock.? It is essential that all members of the community feel empowered and involved in rebuilding their agricultural sector. We are committed to building communities of resilient, informed, connected and uplifted people through the animals that provide the foundation of their security.
Our Work
We train local animal health workers in food animal care, disease prevention and treatment, and biosecurity. The goal is to recognise key diseases in livestock before they become fatal, as well as give locals the opportunity to have their animals health checked. A secondary goal is to deliver needed veterinary medicines and supplies to communities. We transport and administer vital veterinary medicines and supplies to these communities including vaccination and deworming treatments.
You can make a profound impact when you support a teaching based charity; the gift you provide keeps growing as skills and information are passed from educators to animal care workers and then spread throughout the community and country.
