The charity responsible for
The Comfort Dog Project.
We operate Africa’s first and only animal-assisted trauma therapy program, where war trauma survivors are paired with former street dogs for a transformative 20-week healing journey.
Clinically proven to reduce PTSD symptoms, the program is also shifting cultural attitudes about mental health and the value of dogs.
Watch Filda’s Story
Filda was abducted as a child and forced into the LRA rebel army in Uganda, where she witnessed terrible atrocities. As part of The Comfort Dog Project, Filda was paired with a dog who was abandoned as a puppy. The two are now helping each other heal, along with many others like them.
We pair survivors of war with rescued dogs. Donate now to help another pair begin their healing.
We operate the only animal hospital in a region of over 9 million people.
Through our veterinary hospital and mobile clinics, we deliver lifesaving care to animals that would otherwise be left untreated.
We also conduct large-scale rabies vaccination clinics in remote villages across the region to reduce animal suffering and protect humans from disease.
