Our work

VETAID currently works in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa: Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Somalia. Each year, VETAID improves the lives of over a million people.

The main beneficiaries of VETAID’s projects in Africa are herders, farmers, women’s groups, people living with HIV/AIDS and other vulnerable groups. VETAID works with these communities to secure food sources and reduce poverty through a range of actions such as:

• Providing animal health training and vaccinations
• Training in reliable crop production in drought-affected areas
• Distributing and restocking livestock
• Promoting land rights
• Improving access to water for domestic and agricultural purposes
• Supporting income generation activities like beadwork and dairy produce
• Training local organisations and government staff
• Empowering communities to influence decisions which affect their lives

VETAID recognises that choices made by people in the UK can make an impact globally. To address this, we provide school workshops, adult education resources and public presentations to raise awareness of development issues.
