Mission Statement

Healthy Animals. Healthy People. Healthy Environment. Our mission is to strengthen animal health and welfare to build more resilient communities. We do this by enhancing veterinary care, bolstering community disaster response and recovery, championing sustainable livelihoods, and improving the well-being of animals, humans, and ecosystems worldwide. Our vision is a future where animals, communities, and ecosystems thrive sustainably through the One Health model, promoting the well-being of all life and environments through education, accessible veterinary care, local wisdom, and global collaboration.

About This Cause

Using a One Health approach, Veterinarians Without Borders (VWB) works for, and with, communities in need to foster the health of animals, people, and the environments that sustain us. Committing to disease prevention and integrating livelihoods, we aim for a harmonious coexistence where communities and animals thrive. We integrate emergency and humanitarian responses to animal health crises, using preparedness, response, and recovery models that address the climate crisis nexus. Our efforts are rooted in a partnership-driven ethos that respects local knowledge, champions gender equity, and acknowledges the vital connection between animal welfare and community health. We work in Africa and Asia to improve the living conditions of the most disadvantaged rural populations through veterinary and agricultural services, sustainable animal production, training, value chain development and sustainable natural resource management. Additionally, we support remote Northern Canadian communities to improve animal health through temporary spay and neuter clinics, reduce the spread of rabies, and work to create the conditions for long-term, community-led sustainable animal health services.
