Empowering Livestock Keepers: How and why VWB/VSF is combating Antimicrobial Resistance
VWB/VSF is actively working to mitigate the risks associated with AMR. Our primary focus is on training Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs).
Veterinarians without Borders (VWB/VSF) is proud to be one of the founding member charities supported by Aeroplan's Member Donation Program.
Through this program, Aeroplan members can donate unused reward miles to VWB/VSF. In keeping with their environmental program, Aeroplan has committed to fully offset carbon emissions from all flights taken using donated miles.
To date, Aeroplan and its members have contributed more than 23 million miles to VWB/VSF.
We use donated miles to support our grassroots work in over a dozen countries around the world. Donated miles allow us to send volunteer veterinarians and vet students to work with local communities.
Veterinarians without Borders values our donor relationships. We adhere to the standards published by Imagine Canada's Ethical Code Program, which lays out a set of principles for charitable organizations, and assures that they manage and report their financial affairs responsibly.
