For the first time in February 2015, the Foundation for Veterinary Aid International (FVAI) was on African soil. In association with the Maun Animal Welfare Society (MAWS) of Botswana, FVAI sterilized 287 animals during a twelve day safari clinic in the small communities of Botswana. As a reward afterwards, the FVAI team participated in one of the most memorable safaris in Moremi National Park. FVAI will be returning to Botswana in February 2016. Come and join our team!

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.
