Our work in Africa
Humane World for Animals tackles the root causes of animal cruelty and suffering to create permanent change. We make change at scale, advocating for policy change at all levels of government and working with companies so that they can be kinder to animals their businesses impact. We work in partnership with communities, bringing diverse expertise to the most complex issues, and doing it all with a compassionate and welcoming approach.
Our impact
We envision a world without animal cruelty, where humans and animals coexist peacefully. In Africa, we work to promote non-lethal solutions to human-wildlife conflicts, improve the lives of animals raised for food, end the illegal wildlife and captive big cat trade, advocate for a more plant-forward food system, increase access to spay/neuter services and primary veterinary care for companion animals, ending cosmetics animal testing and helping animals in disaster situations.
