For two decades, Veterinarians Without Borders (VWB) has been creating a healthier world for animals, people, and the planet. On December 2, 2025, we held a special online celebration to mark 20 years of One Health in action and to honour the volunteers, partners, and supporters who made it possible.

An Evening of Stories, Connection, and Celebration
From our early beginnings at a borrowed desk at the University of Guelph to programs now reaching more than one million people each year, VWB’s journey has always been about people helping people through animals. This one-hour virtual gathering was a chance to come together as a community — to look back on 20 years of collaboration, innovation, and impact, and to look ahead to the next chapter of our shared story.
Attendees heard reflections from our founder, met our new Executive Director, and connected with volunteers from our Northern and international programs who continue to bring One Health to life every day. Whether you’ve been with us since the early days or only just discovered VWB, this celebration was for you.
A Legacy of One Health in Action
As we celebrate this milestone, we also invite you to revisit the moments that shaped who we are and where we’re going next:
- 20 Moments in 20 Years: Explore the defining stories and milestones that built the foundation for VWB today.
- 20th Anniversary Video: See how veterinarians, volunteers, and partners around the world are advancing One Health for animals, people, and the planet.
Looking Forward
VWB’s story has only just begun... With bold new strategies, deeper partnerships, and growing local leadership across our global programs, we’re entering our next decade with renewed purpose. Together, we’re continuing to strengthen animal health systems, protect livelihoods, and build resilient communities around the world.
Thank you for celebrating with us and for raising a virtual toast to the people, programs, and partnerships shaping the next 20! 🥂
