Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals

Activities

The Humane Education in all public schools aims at promoting compassion of animals in pupils to inculcate a sense responsibility to the well-being of animals in their care.
Community veterinary clinics address the glaring need for both veterinary care and as well as the lack of resources to afford it. These take the form of farm days, where veterinary supplies and personnel schedule to treat all animals in a certain community on a weekend.
Public awareness campaigns through mass media, partnerships with Lilongwe Community Police unit and well as electronic and social media helps in raising the profile of animal welfare in the socio-political fabric of the country.
Spay and Neuter Clinics(dog and cat sterilizations) are geared towards reducing the incidence of rabies in Lilongwe through the reduction of unwanted puppies and kittens in targeted communities.
Rabies Vaccination Program is mainly jointly run with the Lilongwe City Assembly and the Ministry of Agriculture (through the Lilongwe ADD). We also vaccinate all the animals that come to either the spay and neuter clinics or the farm day as part of the same program.
Dog Population Management is an on-going program looking to empower government departments with the tools to address this issue efficiently. Through lobbying the Ministries of Health, Local Government and Agriculture, we are making some advancement towards internationally recognized problem.
The Pet Rehoming Program is indeed traditional to most of facilities with similar functions. Here rescued or confiscated animals are quarantined before they are paired with an appropriate owner for a happy life there-after.
Promoting and Reviewing the Animal welfare Law of Malawi. We partner with the Malawi Police Services in endearing the law to the uniformed police as well as ensuring the general public appreciates the criminality of violating it.
The Lilongwe Veterinary Clinic is our newest Programme. This is designed to offer free or affordable but high standard veterinary care to the community. The paying clients subsidize all the veterinary care that goes towards the underprivileged communities.
