Welcome to Animal Assist Trust Foundation Botswana
| Animal Assist Trust Foundation Botswana [AATFB] is a non-profit organization created to help, protect, and serve animals in Botswana.
AATFB aims to assist with the availability and provision of health care (vaccinate, sterilize, medicate, basic care) as well as increase the number of successful rescues and fosters. Our scope includes the protection of all animals against cruelty, help overall welfare, care and understanding, as well as advocating to review and change the laws to better protect them. Additionally, we hope to host community educational programs to increase awareness on simple ways that you and your pet can get the best quality of life and thrive! We aspire to create a network of individuals and organizations who share our values and can support and contribute to this mission across the country.
It should be noted that we are not a shelter and do not provide animal ambulance or veterinary services. It is also important to mention that our members have full-time day jobs, and as a non-profit organization, we depend on the generous donations of money and resources to support our mission.
