Who We Are

Africa For Animals Initiative exists to address animal abuse, neglect, and abandonment across Africa by building long term solutions rather than reacting to isolated incidents.

Headquartered in South Africa, our work spans multiple African countries through partnerships with governments, NGOs, veterinarians, and local communities.

Providing Safe Shelter

Our shelters provide a safe, comfortable environment for rescued animals. From cozy sleeping areas to proper nutrition and medical care, we ensure every animal receives the love and attention they deserve.

With modern facilities and dedicated staff, our shelters are more than just buildings—they're homes where animals can heal, grow, and prepare for their forever families.

Success Stories

Every animal has a story. Here are just a few of the lives we've touched together.

Wildlife protection

Protecting Wildlife

Beyond companion animals, we work to protect Africa's diverse wildlife. From elephants to smaller species, our conservation efforts help preserve the continent's natural heritage for future generations.

Community Partnerships

By working hand-in-hand with local communities, we create sustainable solutions that benefit both animals and people. Together, we're building a culture of compassion across Africa.

Why This Matters

Across Africa, animals often suffer due to weak animal protection laws, lack of shelters, and limited public awareness. Recent viral incidents involving animal mistreatment brought global attention to these challenges, but public outrage alone does not create lasting change.

We believe Africa deserves animal welfare systems that match global standards while respecting local realities.

What We Do

⚖️

Strengthening Laws

We work with policymakers and governments to improve animal welfare legislation across Africa, focusing on enforceable laws that protect animals from abuse and neglect.

🏠

Building Shelters

Our goal is to build 200 safe shelters for goats across Africa, plus shelters and kennels for stray dogs, providing protection, veterinary care, and proper nutrition.

📚

Education Programs
