In Africa, millions of people depend on their livestock. Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium is developing animal health care there along with the local population and supporting agro-ecological livestock keeping. Together, we use training, equipment and medicines to keep their livestock and the surrounding environment healthy, so that the people can live their lives in dignity. Our special attention to the health of ecosystems also reduces the risk of diseases crossing from wild animals to humans and livestock. In this way, we help to prevent pandemics such as Covid-19 and Ebola. Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium helps livestock keepers in nine African countries to build a better future. That future begins with healthy animals. But we do more than just vaccinating and taking care of herds. We help the population to improve their livestock farming and everything that is connected to it. From microcredits, sales, water and pasture management to training, agricultural equipment, emergency aid, peace negotiations and advocacy. Our vision: healthy animals, healthy people, healthy planet. Our mission: to optimise livestock farming in order to improve the well-being of disadvantaged populations in the South. We are active in Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Benin, DR Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. We are a member of VSF International.
