Healthy animals, healthy people, healthy environment!
Millions of people in Africa depend on their livestock. VSF-NL supports and trains local African farmers to keep their animals healthy. This way, they can build a better future for themselves and their communities.
What we do in Malawi
In Malawi, we train Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs). They help farmers keep their herds healthy. Animals, training, equipment and animal health care enable them to produce enough food for themselves and for the market.
What we do in The Netherlands
In the Netherlands, we raise awareness about sustainable livestock and food production. We lobby for decision-making in favor of small-scale farmers in Africa. We involve veterinarians and veterinary students.
