Around the world, 500 million people living in poverty depend on livestock farming for their livelihoods. If the animals are not well, the livelihoods and lives of these people are jeopardised. Healthy animals, on the other hand, mean food and income. Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Suisse (VSF-Suisse) is committed to helping these people and their animals in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa. By promoting the health and productivity of the animals, the resilience of the people to disasters is strengthened and a sustainable improvement in their living conditions is created.
