LAWCS se inició en 2004 cuando el fundador, Morris Darbo (imagen de arriba, en el medio), y algunos otros amantes de los animales preocupados en el condado de Lofa, Liberia, comenzaron a hacer campaña sobre la falta de cuidado de los animales domésticos, especialmente gatos y perros.

Para 2004, la cantidad de perros en las calles de las ciudades y pueblos de Liberia había aumentado a un ritmo alarmante, y la mayoría de los liberianos se referían a los perros en broma como "ciudadanos". Los perros y gatos callejeros fueron abusados, estaban hambrientos y enfermos.

Donate to Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society

Liberia sufrió años de una guerra civil excepcionalmente violenta y traumática. El país aún siente los efectos. LAWCS está comprometida con la recuperación de Liberia con un mensaje claro de no violencia, desarrollo del carácter, acabar con el sufrimiento animal y crear una sociedad justa, solidaria y socialmente responsable.

AKI apoya el Programa de Educación Humanitaria LAWCS (programa dentro de la escuela, clubes de amabilidad después de la escuela y aumento de la concienciación de la comunidad) en el condado de Lofa.

AKI también apoya a las clínicas comunitarias de cuidado de animales LAWCS , donde se ofrece cuidado básico y gratuito de animales para mascotas en el condado de Lofa, donde no hay otro cuidado veterinario. De hecho, solo un par de veterinarios de animales pequeños ejercen en Liberia, ¡y están a muchas horas de distancia, en Monrovia! El voluntario de LAWCS, Abraham, recibió capacitación para convertirse en un trabajador de salud animal de la comunidad, y vacuna, desparasita y brinda otros cuidados básicos para mascotas.

Después de ayudar (asesoramiento, soporte técnico y visitar LAWCS, participar en sus clínicas de educación humanitaria y cuidado básico de los animales), a partir de 2013, convertimos a LAWCS en una organización socia de AKI en enero de 2016.

Free Rabies Shots & Basic Animal Care at Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society's Clinic

Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society works throughout Lofa County in northern Liberia. They are the only provider of animal care services in the county. They work in schools to promote kindness to animals. They meet with communities-where their staff members live-to create kind communities. It is only because of this intensive, ongoing, widespread work that they are able to influence the way animals are treated. AKI donors support LAWCS's work by paying stipends for LAWCS staff (approx US$50-70/month/person), covering rent for their office/clinic (US$50/month), and providing funds to purchase medicines and supplies for the clinic, food for their animal feeding programs, motorbike maintenance so LAWCS staff can move around, and any other LAWCS priority needs.
