VSF Belgium

Over one billion families who live in developing countries depend on cows, camels, goats, sheep and poultry for their survival. This is why Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium supports the local population in order to improve livestock and all related activities.

Our local partners stimulate private veterinarians to work in remote areas and they train farmers in veterinary health care. Together, they form a veterinarian network in areas where animal health care was previously nonexistent. But our actions go beyond the simple vaccination of cattle. We also support communities to establish local financial institutions, to set up livestock feed banks, to construct water points for humans and animals and to improve the access to commercial markets. We stimulate peace negotiations between rivalling communities for access to grassland and water sources.

Our vision: healthy animals, healthy people.

Our mission: Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium optimises livestock farming in order to improve the well-being of disadvantaged populations in developing countries.

We are active in 8 African countries: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, DR Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Southern Sudan
