Animal Aid Abroad is a not for profit organisation focused on improving the treatment, working conditions and status of working animals. They provide much needed food, medical supplies and treatment for injured, abused and overworked animals in developing countries.
What AAA does to help:
Providing free veterinary clinics and owner education to reduce the daily suffering of these animals;
Empower and educate animal owners to improve the lives of their animals and consequently their own well-being and livelihoods. This is to be achieved by supporting local partner organisations in developing countries to run outreach clinics, mobile units, community educational programs and other innovative projects if and when they arise;
Manage and maintain current sponsorship programs for partner organisations to help with the care and rehabilitation of abused, sick and abandoned working animals;
Inform and raise public awareness about the plight of working animals in developing communities and advocate change.
A staggering number of households in developing countries depend on working animals for their livelihood. The condition in which these animals work is extremely pitiful. They are forced to carry unimaginable loads, are beaten and underfed.
Exploitation of these voiceless creatures always goes unheard. These animals are loaded with excessive weight, are made to work for long hours – sometimes without food and water.
