The Fondation Aide Vétérinaire Internationale (FAVI) has been proud to offer free veterinary care to animals in Belize for many years. Since 2014, we have focused our efforts in northern Belize in Sarteneja and Corozal. Our annual visits to these small communities have had a major impact on the health of the animals. Population control through sterilization leads to a decrease in the number of unwanted litters and puppies thrown to the streets, where over 70% will die before the age of 6 ... Project Details

In February 2024, FAVI will return to the mythical island of Zanzibar. Cat lovers, here's a unique chance to meet these wonderful creatures straight out of a tale of a thousand and one nights! "Paka" means cat in Swahili. This project will be 100% dedicated to felines. Together with our Tanzanian veterinary friends on the island and Mama Paka Zanzibar, we will once again be helping the local people who look after the community cats on a daily basis. We'll also be doing TNR ... Project Details

The Fondation Aide Vétérinaire Internationale ( FAVI ) will return to Tanzania for the twelfth time from September 12 to 26, 2023. Our massive vaccination and sterilization clinics will take place on weekends at an elementary school, where young villagers will once again be invited to accompany their furry friends for free treatment. During the week, again in conjunction with our local partner Mbwa Wa Africa, street dogs will benefit from our services. Surgeries will take place at the ... Project Details

The Foundation for Veterinary Aid International (FVAI) will be back in  Belize from December 10 to 17, 2022 after almost 3 years of absence. We will once again visit the village of Sarteneja. 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 ... Project Details

In October 2022, FAVI will be back in Tanzania in the north of the country and on the mythical island of Zanzibar. This project will be very diversified and as inspiring as ever. There will certainly be something for everyone! For a tenth time since 2017, we will start our project on land in the Arusha region with our local partner Mbwa Wa Africa. "Mbwa" means dog in Swahili. If you are more of a "dog person" this portion of the project is for you! The clinic is mobile and we treat mostly ... Project Details

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 ... Project Details

In September 2021, we were finally able to put back on our veterinary uniforms for the first time since February 2020. What a joy to be back in the field providing veterinary care to our Tanzanian fur buddies! FVAI, along with our faithful local partner Mbwa Wa Africa, sterilized 120 dogs and 3 cats. The next important date to remember is February 2022. A wonderful surprise awaits all you cat lovers. Welcome! Karibu! ... Project Details

Six new volunteers joined the extended FVAI family: two veterinarians, two animal health technicians, one assistant and two graduating veterinary students. Welcome! We sterilized 161 animals during this trip. An enormous thank you to our local partner Mbwa Wa Africa Animal Rescue for their warm welcome, and without whom this mission wouldn't be ...

The Foundation for Veterinary Aid International (FVAI) is proud to offer free veterinary care to the animals of Belize for several years now. In January 2020 more than half of the health care professionals of the Beaumont Veterinary Clinic flew to Belize to support us in our humanitarian mission. What an amazing initiative on the part of this veterinary clinic. A highly motivating and unifying project for the employees! Their adventure began in spring 2019. The volunteers were incredibly ...

The Foundation for Veterinary Aid International returned to Belize from the 4-11 of January 2020. As soon as they got out of the airport, the volunteers of FVAI exchanged their winter boots for flip-flops and climbed aboard the "FVAI Mobile", a baby blue school bus from the village of Sarteneja. 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 ...
