Our partner group, Action for Protection of Wild Animals (APOWA), provided veterinary services for 102 working horses and bullocks in March. The team also vaccinated an incredible 296 animals and dewormed many others. This was only made possible due to your continuing support and compassionate donations.

Through APOWA’s mobile clinic, working animals were provided with treatment for various injuries and illnesses, and received general health checkups. Some conditions seen included colic, food poisoning, worms, fevers caused by viruses, skin infections and eye infections.

We had a fantastic time connecting with the community at the Perth Vegan Expo!

A huge thank you to our incredible Animal Aid Abroad (AAA) volunteers who passionately shared our mission of treating working animals with kindness and respect. Through heartfelt conversations, they helped raise awareness about the challenges faced by working animals and how donations help provide medical care, education and rescue through our global project partners.

Thanks to your kind donations, Help in Suffering (HIS) organised a special camp for sick camels during the Nagaur Fair in February. Nagaur is a town in Rajasthan and people gather here during the fair to trade animals including camels and horses.

The HIS team treated 417 sick camels during their week-long camp.

Our fantastic partner group, Help in Suffering, organised a free camel treatment camp in February in Jaisalmer. The camp team consisted of two vets and four vet assistants.

Jaisalmer is situated in famous Thar Desert. The main attraction for tourists here are camel rides. However, because the area is so remote, camels do not usually receive any veterinary care. Their owners also cannot afford treatment for their animals.

Lake Zone Animal Welfare Organization (LAZAWO) have been hard at work assisting donkeys at the gold mines of Geita, Tanzania. Working conditions at these mines are extremely harsh for both donkeys and miners.

However, with your support, LAZAWO reached 367 donkeys at this location in February. The vet team treated donkeys for conditions including wounds, cherry eye and abscess, colic, tetanus, and tick and worm infestations.

We are incredibly grateful for your heartfelt donations for working animals. Without your support, AAA could not fund the critical programs being run by our partner groups overseas.

One such group is Friendicoes in India. Through their mobile equine clinic, they treated no less than 850 working animals throughout February.

With your invaluable support, the Camel Rescue Centre (CRC) in Bassi provide 260 camels with veterinary care in February. The following cases stood out in particular:

Starting Over are our hard-working partner group in Israel. They are dedicated to rescuing donkeys from horrendous situations, including donkeys from Gaza’s war zones. They currently have 47 rescued donkeys living in their intensive care unit - the Hope Compound.

Your wonderful support and donations are going a long way towards helping these donkeys recover from injuries, abuse, neglect and trauma.

The Visakha Society for Protection and Care of Animals (VSPCA) in India have been progressing and growing in a way that has been transformative for the animals at their shelters.

With your kind donations, they have made tremendous strides over the past few months by continuously improving care for the rescued animals and thus helping them recover.
