“Every being deserves a decent life”, this is the slogan of our member league association ALL CREATURES TRUST founded in 2016 in Malawi as not-for-profit organisation with the goal to improve the status of animals in Africa contributing to make the country a better place for all living beings.

Their mission is to encourage the pacific coexistence human-animal raising awareness about the fact that we all are sentient beings; promote animal protection (including compassionate conservation) and veterinary services in order to save vulnerable animals; recommend responsible care for animals to owners even providing community veterinary support to those families who truly care but can’t afford the expenses and finally they contribute to public animal policies.

Their activities include in details:
