Animal Groups pledge $1.1 million for long-term animal efforts in Haiti
AVMF is a member of the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti which is jointly led by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA).
Animal welfare organizations formed the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) so that we could work together to bring aid to as many animals, and in as short a time, as possible.
On March 4th, the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) announced a $1.1 million-dollar agreement with the Haitian government aimed at improving animal welfare conditions and repairing the country’s damaged veterinary capacity in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake of January 12.
The AVMF has already committed a significant contribution toward the efforts in Haiti with plans in place to further support the work as needs arise. We are committed to raising funds to go directly towards the animal welfare Haitian relief efforts. Your financial contribution to the AVMF will support these efforts as well as other disaster relief efforts, like VMAT mentioned below. Support empowers AVMF to be prepared to provide assistance on any additional animal relief, rescue, and disaster affects that may occur resulting from the Haiti Earthquake or any future disastrous event.
