About us

Who we are

Hard work shouldn’t mean overwork.

Since 1923, Working Animals International has been dedicated to transforming the lives of working animals and supporting the people who depend on them.

Working animals are at the heart of daily life in many low-income countries – an essential support. When these animals are healthy and cared for, families are more secure, and communities are better able to work as they should.

That’s why we work alongside partners worldwide to increase access to essential veterinary treatment and campaign for better welfare standards. We also support owners as they develop the knowledge and skills to look after their animals with confidence and care – while inspiring the next generation to do the same.

We’re here to make sure these animals are seen, protected and properly cared for – and that their welfare is never overlooked again. We do this with the support of people who believe, like we do, that working animals deserve better.

Together, we’re building a world where working animals are healthy and valued, communities are stronger and livelihoods are more secure.
