AKI Partner Organization-Have a Heart-Namibia

​Our partnership with Have-a-Heart (HaH)-Namibia began in 2016, when HaH started Namibia's first mobile spay/neuter service. Namibia is a large, sparsely populated country, much of it is extremely poor.  The mobile s/n clinic traveled to areas with no accessible vet care and AKI supported many HaH s/n clinics in remote towns.

Based on HaH's priority needs, and at HaH's request, for several years we've been supporting an AKI-HaH Emergency Fund and HaH's Lifetime Care Program, which provides booster shots and anti-parasite treatments for all s/n clients--for life.

​

In the 1st half of 2024, with AKI funding, 483 dogs were treated through HaH's Lifetime Care Program and the AKI-HaH Emergency Fund helped over 21 cats and 11 dogs. (See AKI Blog posts below for their stories.)

**************

The AKI-HaH Emergency Fund is for use-at the discretion of HaH, AKI, and the attending vet​- and is meant to help cats and dogs who have been spayed or neutered and whose family is low/no income. If a family is unable to afford vet care and needs help from the Emergency Fund, but their pet hasn't yet been s/n'd, the requirement is that s/he will be s/n'd once well enough. It is specifically to be used for no/low income families who wouldn't be able to afford the vet care without a little help from our Emergency Fund.
