Where We Work

In order to ensure the success of our interventions, FVAI is engaged in projects that respond to very specific criteria:

  • Impact: FVAI's interventions must have a tangible impact. Therefore, we prefer targeting small communities with less than 20 000 inhabitants.
  • Sustainability: In order to ensure the continuity of its actions, FVAI will be working with its local partners on a recurring basis.  A unique or one-time intervention rarely leaves a lasting impact.
  • Local Partnership: FVAI always works conjointly with a local and well structured non-governmental organization that shares the same vision, and is active in the community year round. At all times FVAI must have the consent of local veterinarians, and as much as possible works in close collaboration with them.
  • Safety and security: FVAI works in safe, peaceful, and politically stable countries.

This will be our tenth visit to this dynamic little community. The majority of the villagers do not have a car and the nearest veterinarian is a two hour drive in a crowded bus or an hour's rowboat ride across the Bay of Corozal. By operating a clinic in the heart of the village, FVAI is the solution ...

Cat colony in Zanzibar
Project Date: February 8-23, 2022

FVAI was back in Tanzania in February 2022. What a great way to start a new year with a wonderful pilot project on the mythical island of Zanzibar! Cats are plentiful in the streets of Stone Town and their seamless cohabitation with the human population is extraordinary. It is simply fascinating for those of us, who have a soft spot for the mini-tigers. However, cats reproduce quickly, especially when they have almost unlimited access to food. Two non-profit organizations, Paka clinic and ...

The road to this small community was as bad as usual: potholes, mud, zigzags, horse-drawn carriages, 10 wheelers, to finally travel the 110 km in 3 hours. This was our ninth visit to this dynamic ...
