VETAID is a Scottish-based organisation who works to reduce poverty and increase food security for people in sub-Saharan Africa who are dependent on livestock. We currently work in Tanzania, Kenya and Somalia. The communities we work with are dependent - often completely- on animals for their food and income. By providing local people with basic animal health skills and equipment, their animals are healthier, providing a more reliable source of meat, eggs and dairy products. Not only does this mean that the community is healthier as they have a secure source of food, but they are also able to earn an income from the sale of any excess produce. Each year, VETAID improves the lives of over a million people.
