Nicaragua
Our bi-annual trips were based out of the small fishing village of Jiquilillo. Our local Nicaraguan contacts helped us work with communities that typically have no access to veterinary care. Each trip usually consists of approximately seven clinical days where we would travel to different communities in Northwestern Nicaragua to provide veterinary services for pets and farm animals.
Background
Impact
At each clinic we provided vaccinations, anti-parasitic medications, and surgeries such as spay & neuter to animals in need. The work we do not only improves the health of the animals, but also the public health of each community.
In addition to medical care, each trip would have a central educational project. Historically, we have focused on topics like nutrition and animal restraint. With our educational projects, we aim to build a healthier and safer living environment for animals and their owners.
