LAWCS è stato avviato nel 2004 quando il fondatore, Morris Darbo (foto sopra, al centro), e alcuni altri amanti degli animali preoccupati nella contea di Lofa, in Liberia, hanno iniziato a fare una campagna sulla mancanza di cura degli animali domestici, in particolare cani e gatti.

Nel 2004, il numero di cani nelle strade delle città e dei paesi della Liberia era aumentato a un ritmo allarmante, con la maggior parte dei liberiani che si riferivano ai cani scherzosamente come "cittadini". Cani e gatti di strada sono stati maltrattati, erano affamati e malati.

La Liberia ha subito anni di guerra civile eccezionalmente violenta e traumatica. Il Paese ne risente ancora. LAWCS si impegna per la ripresa della Liberia con un chiaro messaggio di non violenza, costruzione del carattere, fine della sofferenza degli animali e creazione di una società giusta, premurosa e socialmente responsabile.

L'AKI sostiene il programma LAWCS Humane Education (programma scolastico, club per la gentilezza dopo la scuola e sensibilizzazione della comunità) nella contea di Lofa.

L'AKI supporta anche le LAWCS Community Animal Care Clinics , dove viene offerta assistenza agli animali di base gratuita per gli animali domestici nella contea di Lofa, dove non ci sono altre cure veterinarie. In effetti, solo un paio di veterinari per piccoli animali praticano in Liberia, e sono a molte ore di distanza, a Monrovia! Il volontario LAWCS, Abraham, ha ricevuto una formazione per diventare un operatore sanitario di comunità per animali e vaccina, svermina e fornisce altre cure di base per gli animali domestici.

Dopo aver aiutato (consulenza, supporto tecnico e aver visitato LAWCS, prendendo parte alla loro educazione umanitaria e alle cliniche di base per la cura degli animali), a partire dal 2013, abbiamo reso LAWCS un'organizzazione partner AKI nel gennaio 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.
