Dierenartsen Zonder Grenzen

Organisation
In 9 African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Burundi , DR Congo, Uganda, Rwanda), Vets Without Borders helps family livestock farmers to practise ecologically responsible livestock farming. With training, equipment and medicines, we work with them to keep their animals and their environment healthy and allow people to live in dignity.
Following the principles of One Health, we provide answers to today's most essential health issues. Our special focus on the sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystem health, lowers the risk of wildlife diseases spreading to humans and livestock. This is how we help prevent pandemics such as COVID-19 or Ebola. In Belgium, we inform and raise awareness around sustainable food production and consumption in the fight against climate change and pandemics.
Vets Without Borders-Belgium directly employs around 140 people in our project countries and 22 staff at our headquarters in Brussels.
Vets Without Borders-Belgium is a member of the international non-profit organisation Vets Without Borders International.
