Animal Care Program
Veterinary Services
We provide specialized veterinarian and pharmaceutical care for animals in Ngonine and neighboring villages. Our veterinarian is Timothy Ousmane, who is mentored and trained by a strategic partner who practices in Thiés. Ousmane holds governmental authorization to serve 8 surrounding villages and continues to apply for more.
Feed Store
The store’s facilities and equipment support the Animal Program as well as the Agriculture Program by repurposing millet and peanut remnants for animal feed. The store provides access to animal medicines and animal feed that is sold and showcases how necessities are both grown and sold in the village, building an internal economic ecosystem.
Livestock
Our newest Animal Program venture includes sheep being raised and then sold for profit at the local market. We provide animal feed and purchase capital, but the pastoralists are responsible for animal shelter and veterinarian bills.
