 We have arranged for farriers and harness makers to be trained and we train animal health workers, farmers and children in schools. We try and make learning fun and the children in particular respond well to this.
In addition to training we:
- provide basic veterinary services;
- attend the local markets with a mobile clinic;
- have a 25 loosebox hospital/rehabilitation facility;
- carry out research into carts and harnessing to try and find ways to improve what is available locally;
- we carry out research into some of the diseases that affect the animals in order to find suitable ways of avoiding and/or treating them. Some of these diseases are as yet unidentified.
We believe that many of the problems we see are as a direct result of poverty, so we also work closely with the local community on community development projects.
