Healthy Animals - Healthy People - Healthy Environment
We improve the well-being and resilience of vulnerable populations by promoting the health and productivity of their livestock within a sustainable environment.What we do
VSF-Suisse fights hunger and poverty in East and West Africa. We work especially for and with people who depend on animals for their livelihood.
