VIVA is an Irish non-profit organisation working with small-scale livestock farmers in the Developing World to improve livestock husbandry, health and welfare. VIVA uses a One Health approach in its work which recognises the interdependence between animal and human health and the environment they share.
VIVA was delighted to recently receive a donation of €5,000 from the Mid-West Clinical Society. The funds, which were presented to VIVA's Mike Burke by Bill Carmody, bring to €14,900 the total donated by the Clinical Society over the last twenty years. A big 'Thank You' to all involved.
Three months after the start of the war in Ukraine, millions of people have either fled the country or been displaced internally, while humanitarian needs are increasing exponentially. Every day thousands of people flee from Ukraine with only what they can carry: often this is their pet. From the first information received by VSF from the Polish border at Medyka about 30% of refugees have a pet, and some of them need veterinary care.
