Building a Future for Animals in Malawi

Animal welfare is rarely considered a priority among the majority of the country's subsistence farming population. Farm animals suffer due to lack of veterinary services as there is only 1 veterinary assistant assigned to 15 000 farming households in the country.  Rapid expansion into urban areas leads to animals being transported in terrible conditions and pets rarely receive health care or mandatory vaccinations.  The LSPCA's Veterinary Clinic and Centre for Animal Welfare provide the highest standards of veterinary care, veterinary training and education in Malawi as well as policy advice and support to enforce Malawi's Animal Protection Act. 

Our longstanding international partnership with  Welttierschutzgesellschaft (Germany), the Donkey Sanctuary Project (UK) and the RSPCA International make it possible to transform the lives of animals and people in Malawi, every day and in many different ways.

Our Volunteers

As I will be studying to be a vet in the coming acedemic year (2016-2017), I came to LSPCA during my gap year to gain experience in a different country to Norway. Due to the timing of my placement, I was able to get involved with LSPCA’s annual rabies campaign which, even with the long days.

Oda Ingston

Before I came to LSPCA I was worried that I would be a burden as I didn’t have much handling skills and even less practical veterinary skills, but the whole team, especially the clinic, were so patient with me! I really enjoyed the spay days and farm clinics.

Maike Mueller

I decided to come to LSPCA because I wanted to ccontribute my professional skills to a country where animal welfare is poor but at the same time be able to travel and experience a new culture. My favourite part of the placement at LSPCA was the field work.

Magdalena Domagala

I decided to volunteer at LSPCA because thats where my pets get treated. I wanted to be part of the people passionate in providing proper animal health and care. It was a wonderful experience, everyone at LSPCA made me feel at home. I enjoyed looking after the dogs in the kennels.

Tsinde Chibwana

My experience at LSPCA has far exceeded my exppectations. Everyone here was welcoming and made me feel like part of the team. My favourite part was getting the opportunity to perfom a dog castration (with guidance) for the first time. I am especially grateful for Dr. Tino, Dr. Maddy, and Dr. Tari for all their teaching during the two weeks i spent at LSPCA

Samantha Swartzenntruber

I learnt so much from this experience and could write paragraphs on this. Field anaesthesia was something I had not been involved with before and it made me realise how quick you must act when an animal is down in the field. This was exciting and quite stressful – but great for learning and improving my knowledge on anaesthesia.

Georgie Everest

Of course as an aspiring surgeon I loved the canine surgery and getting to operate independently which made me feel like a real vet/surgeon! I also really enjoyed the donkey anesthesia which was quite a surprise! My donkey ‘rugby tackles’ during recovery became a running joke, but helping them regain balance was fun, challenging, rewarding, and good exercise.
