The Voice for the Voiceless: CASAI and
Animal Welfare in The Gambia

THE CHALLENGE

Transforming Lives With Shelter Charity

The Gambia, like many developing nations, faces a complex challenge regarding animal welfare. Many animals, from donkeys to cats and sheep, suffer neglect, abandonment, and abuse. Here at CASAI, we champion these voiceless creatures, working tirelessly to improve their lives.

OUR INITIATIVES

Pet Owner Counseling: We offer free consultations for pet owners of all kinds. This includes donkeys, often vital for transportation and agriculture, as well as more traditional domestic pets like cats, sheep, and goats. 

Advocacy and Awareness: Unfortunately, our current resources limit the immediate medical care we can provide. We work diligently to raise awareness about animal cruelty and advocate for stricter animal welfare laws. on and care.

THE GAPS

While our initiatives lay a strong foundation, crucial needs remain unmet:

Veterinary Services

Immediate veterinary care is often unavailable for sick and injured animals. Establishing partnerships with vets or building a dedicated CASAI Animal Clinic would be a game-changer.

Rescue Tools

Currently, rescuing animals in distress can be challenging. Specialized capture tools like nets, humane traps, and tranquilizer darts are urgently needed for the safe recovery of injured or wild animals.

Animal Sanctuary

Presently, there's no dedicated space for housing abandoned or neglected animals. We dream of a CASAI Animal Sanctuary, a safe haven for these vulnerable creatures to receive medical attention and care, find loving homes, or simply live out their lives peacefully.

Advocacy Expansion

We strive to amplify our message and reach more communities. Educational materials translated into local languages, workshops, and public awareness campaigns would significantly enhance our outreach.

Why Animal Welfare Matters?

Building a Brighter Future

Animals are not just companions; they are integral parts of our ecosystem. When animals are healthy and well cared for, it benefits everyone. Here’s how:

We Are All Connected: By advocating for animal welfare, we're not just helping animals; we're creating a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone in The Gambia. We all share this environment, and the well-being of animals is directly linked to our own.
