Helping working animals all over the world
“Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures”
—The Dalai Lama
Our Mission
Every day, thousands of animals are overworked, abused and injured through inhumane hard labour.
They’re often forced to carry heavy loads for farming, festivals, or construction, weights well beyond their capacity, or used unethically in tourism. The animals work in punishing environments, given little to no rest and work with painful harnessing and untreated wounds. They are also frequently without adequate water and nutrition.
Since 2007, Animal Aid Abroad has been dedicated to improving the lives of working animals, particularly in the poorest communities in the world. Our first priority is always direct intervention to relieve suffering and abuse.
We partner with local organisations to provide veterinary clinics to treat sick and injured working animals, educate local communities, and provide much needed shelter, food, water, medical supplies, and care to suffering animals.
What We Do
We envision a world… where every working animal lives a life free from suffering and is treated with respect and compassion.
We contribute to bettering animal’s lives in four different ways
Treat
Equip
Rescue
Educate
Our Impact
Animal Aid Abroad partners with local animal welfare groups in many developing countries to provide free veterinary care to sick and injured working animals, as well as working with communities to improve animal welfare through education and training.
We also pride ourselves in complete transparency and full disclosure to the general public.
