Healthy Animals. Healthy People. Healthy Environment.
Our work in East Africa benefits the health of animals, people and their surrounding environment. Together they form the three pillars of our project work, because only in harmony with each other it is possible to achieve positive sustainable development.
Dogs as protectors and companions
The recent paper Dogs cannot protect you unless you are their friend, co-authored by VSF Germany, shows how dogs in Kenya are not only used for protection, but are also valued as loyal companions. Participatory approaches are used to raise awareness of rabies prevention and promote the coexistence of humans and dogs.

Animal Welfare
At the heart of our work is the welfare and protection of animals in our project countries. The pastoral livestock management we promote in our projects ensures a species-appropriate conditions for the farm animals.
Where we help
The knowledge, experiences and life strategies of the people in our projects in East Africa are at the heart of our work – we support them in leading a healthy and self-determined life in harmony with their animals in a healthy environment.
