We fund and support various projects across Zimbabwe, largely in the care and welfare of domestic animals, including cattle, donkeys, goats, etc. We also help in the funding of a clinic at Victoria Falls where the full-time vet supplies veterinary care and welfare training to local residents both at the clinic and in their villages. This is invaluable as there is otherwise no care available.
