We try and educate young and old, as we believe that sterilisation alone will not help all our dogs and cats.

We visit impoverished communities and walk around, talking to people in the street and knocking on doors. Cases of great need are often found in this way: unsterilised animals that have had endless numbers of puppies and kittens, and dogs that are chained up on a short leash with no shelter or water - sometimes the chain has never been taken off and it has buried itself under the skin of the neck, leaving infected, fly-ridden wounds. And believe it or not, this can be due to ignorance and simple neglect rather than wanton cruelty, and people are often willing to learn from the mistakes and improve the lives of their animals with some advice and help.
We distribute a number of leaflets in the communities in which we work, in all the local languages, and we have notices up in the libraries giving reasons to sterilise.  We give advice on primary health care – de-worming, flea and mange treatments and vaccination.

We also do visits to schools. We received generous funding from the D G Murray Trust in September 2007 which allowed us to purchase a DVD and projector so that we can use material from the Humane Education Trust. We have visited several schools already and are continuing with this program. If anyone is interested in assisting with this we would very much like to hear from you.

The more animals sterilised, the fewer animals per household and therefore we see improved health of children and adults in each household.  Flea bites and mange are major problems for people in the communities in which we work so we are striving to make people and pets healthier.
