Protecting Botswana's wildlife through domestic animal care.

To improve the lives and general health of domestic animals in our local communities by providing free and low-cost veterinary services and educational programmes.


Maun Animal Welfare Society is a non-profit organisation which aims to improve the lives of domestic animals by providing free veterinary services and educational programmes in and around Maun, Botswana.

We welcome vets and vet nurses year-round who travel to Maun to volunteer with us. From our purpose-built veterinary clinic in Maun we utilise our locally-raised funds to undertake routine sterilisations and administer vaccinations. We also provide life-saving emergency treatment or humane euthanasia to animals beyond help. Furthermore, we reunite, rehome and rehabilitate lost, found and stray animals and provide an emergency first-response service to injured livestock.

Our international funding allows us to conduct outreach clinics, specifically targeting rural areas where villagers live side-by-side with wildlife. Our outreach work brings vital veterinary care to remote locations and helps to prevent the transmission of rabies and canine distemper: diseases which can decimate wildlife including the endangered African Wild Dog as well as lions, leopards and cheetahs.
