Our Major Programs
Animal Welfare Initiatives
We support the sheltering of dogs, puppies, and cats to prevent road accidents and abandonment. Our work includes providing quality nutrition, veterinary services including rabies vaccination, and parasite prevention. We advocate for spaying and neutering to prevent overpopulation that leads to animal abandonment.
Enviromental Protection
Through educational campaigns and advocacy, we work to protect diverse habitats and preserve biodiversity. Our initiatives focus on responsible stewardship of natural resources and ecosystem conservation throughout Cameroon.
Sustainable Development
We recognize climate change as the most critical challenge facing our planet. Our interventions include education about how animal exploitation and forest footprints contribute to climate change, raising awareness, and promoting adaptation strategies.
Climate Change Action
As supporters of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we ensure our work reflects goals related to Life below Water, Climate Action, Zero Hunger, and Life on Land. We implement projects that advance these global priorities while addressing local needs.
