Our great privilege is being able to work alongside and support strong and emerging local organisations. One of those is the Himalayan Animal Rescue Trust (HART). An organisation who promotes and protects the welfare of animals (primarily small animals such as dogs and cats) HART and GVI have been working in partnership in Pokhara for over 8 years.
They provide free and low-cost treatment to ill animals, and run regular vaccination and sterilisation camps utilising effective trace and track technologies. These serve to increase the health of animal populations and increase people’s compassion and care towards the animals they see and interact with on a daily basis. They travel across remote districts of Nepal to deliver these services and work to advocate for animals rights at local government levels, earning both respect and positive feedback from many.
In recent years we have worked with HART to make upgrades to their treatment facility and regularly deliver training collaboratively to school and community groups. The diversity that our partnership with HART gives to our programs is wonderful and serves as a reminder of the importance of all types of community programs.
