ACE is a fully functioning Veterinary Hospital based in Luxor, we provide free veterinary care and treatment to all kinds of neglected and abused animals, we are also committed to prevention through education of animal care and maintenance.  ACE has already seen the difference this can make.  We have an official education programme with up to 300 children a week visiting us from local schools to learn that animals feel pain and should be treated with respect as they serve their human masters. 

ACE has been established for 10 years and is growing fast due to the desperate need for our services.  Over 5,000 animals can come through our gates every month, most require medical attention from our qualified Egyptian and International vets.  Many are just brought to use the washing facilities before another long day’s work in the hot sun.  ACE support some of the poorest families of Egypt by providing them with free veterinary and maintenance services for their working animals, often their only means of providing for their family.

Bread and Water for Africa UK was founded to support and strengthen grassroots organisations across Africa. Over the years, we have identified 11 community programmes in Kenya, Ethiopia, Burundi, Zambia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, founded by driven and innovative leaders that address key problems within their respective communities.

Together with these partners, we are working to build real, lasting solutions to local problems and to give communities the tools and resources they need to help themselves. We know that the people of Africa are ready and willing to take hold of their own futures and make their tomorrows better than their todays, but that they often lack the resources they need to take action. Bread and Water for Africa UK provides support in the form of both cash grants and, in the case of the clinics we support in Sierra Leone, life-saving, high quality medications.

Putting Compassion on the map

Join fellow Compassion in World Farming supporters by putting your best foot forward on Saturday 12th May as part of the sponsored walking event Just Walk.

2 out of 3 farm animals on the planet are factory farmed. Around 40 billion intensively farmed animals are slaughtered globally each year. That’s around 100 million every day; around 4.5 million every year; around 76,000 every minute and over 1,200 every second.

Let’s take steps together and stamp out factory farming
