Ethical Impact

Volunteer International Adventures focus is on ethical youth and animal projects which we feel very strongly about. We see the need for assistance from international volunteers in developing countries and have seen the difference extra hands-on help can make to communities and conservation if done responsibly.

Program Highlights

  • Witness surgeries, examinations, x-rays and medical treatments, depending on patients in care and assist with animal enrichments for wildlife undergoing rehabilitation.
  • Volunteer with veterinary doctors and animal rescuers on this east African paradise and help with the welfare of the lives of domestic animals, livestock and even the occasional monkey and bird.
  • Gain extra practical experience with numerous surgeries and a variety of disease while helping a very busy qualified veterinary medicine doctor working with low-income pet owners, rescued and surrendered animals.
  • Gain both practical and theoretical skills in wildlife relocation and the veterinary work that goes with it including a rhino dehorning for antipoaching purposes with an experienced wildlife veterinary doctor.
  • The projects that take part in wildlife rehabilitation are overseen by permitted and trained rehabilitation teams. You will assist them with food prep, closure cleaning and other duties needed for the animal's care.

Program Impact

Whether if it is treating wildlife for free, assisting substance farmers with their cattle and equines, or providing veterinary medicine services to those in the poor to low-income groups of society, our veterinary medicine projects all add value and play an important role to the lives of animals in need. We as an organisation also sponsor numerous sterilisations, donate towards veterinary clinics and sponsor specific food for wildlife. We also volunteer ourselves and sponsor a mobile monthly veterinary medicine outreach clinic in our hometown treating hundreds of cats and dogs for external and internal parasites and providing pet food parcels to those that bring their cats and dogs fro treatment. We are passionate about our veterinary projects as we see veterinary doctors and nurses as absolute heros.
