Helping working animals worldWIDE

Animal Aid Abroad leads a global initiative delivering care to working animals where it is most urgently needed. Every day, millions of animals are forced to carry heavy loads, endure exhaustion, and suffer without adequate food, water, or medical care.

We exist to change that.

With a lean, transparent and highly efficient global network, every dollar you give goes directly to animals in need - providing relief, treatment, and dignity to those who would otherwise be forgotten.

Our Mission

Every day, millions of working animals are pushed beyond their limits, overworked, injured, and denied even the most basic care.

They are forced to carry heavy loads for farming, construction, festivals, and tourism. Many work in extreme heat, with little rest, painful harnessing, untreated wounds, and limited access to food or clean water.

Since 2007, Animals Aid Abroad has been dedicated to changing this reality. Animal Aid Abroad leads a global initiative delivering care to working animals where it is most urgently needed

Our priority is always direct action — relieving suffering where it exists and protecting animals who have no voice.

They work in silence. They suffer without choice. Your kindness can be the moment everything changes. Your support helps deliver veterinary care, food, and safety to animals forced into hard labour, often for the first time in their lives.

Animal Aid Abroad | Turning Burden into Care for Working Animals Worldwide

How we help

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

  • A young donkey with a loaded backpack lying on the ground, resting with eyes closed, surrounded by other animals and equipment.

    Treat

    We provide urgent and ongoing veterinary care to injured, sick, and overworked animals - relieving pain, treating wounds, and giving animals the chance to heal.

  • A woman with shoulder-length gray hair smiling and hugging a white dog hanging out, sitting on a patio with brick walls and a wicker chair in the background.

    Equip

    We supply essential equipment such as humane harnessing, saddles, and protective gear to prevent injuries and reduce suffering while animals work.

  • Animal Aid Abroad Members and Volunteers at the finish line of a 12 km race, with a banner reading 'city to surf for activ' overhead, and other race participants in the background.

    Rescue

    We step in when animals can no longer cope, rescuing them from abuse, neglect, or life-threatening conditions and supporting their recovery.

  • Three oxen pulling a wooden cart on a dirt path in a rural area with green grass and trees in the background.

    Educate

    We work alongside local communities, offering education and training in humane animal care to create lasting change and prevent future suffering.
