Humane Education

The connection between animal compassion, environment protection and community livelihoods is still not clearly appreciated in our society. Through Roots and Shoots Malawi Programme, ALL CREATURES has found a perfect fit for ensuring that the above mentioned three facets are adequately catered for in our humane education strategy. None the less, the promotion of animal wellbeing has an overarching agenda in this process and continues to hold a central place in our humane education activities.

​​​​​​​This far IFAW has continued offering support for our education through providing dissemination information material specific to companion animal and wildlife messages as well as direct support.

While some individuals and indeed communities in Africa embrace responsibility  for their animals as a value, the approximations of animal welfare through the basic provisions of nourishment, veterinary care & a comfortable environment still needs to be taught in many of our communities.

​​​​​​​This disparity of knowledge between the developed and developing world is compounded by the general poverty faced by a majority of these communities but our humane education has a big role to play in closing this knowledge gap. It is therefore obvious that our education programme seeks to tackle deep seated ideas and beliefs which often stand in the way of giving proper care to animals.

Reaching out to children to dispel some bad traditions and attitudes in their formative ages provides an opportunity to impress on them early. This will result in a society that is generally conscious of animal welfare and is sympathetic toward animals.

As already mentioned, our efforts are supported in part by the International Fund For Animal Welfare (IFAW), we have also partnered with partnering with the Jane Goodall Institute to operate through the globally successful Roots and Shoots frame-work to advance a community led animal and environment sensitive projects.
