Animal Anti-Cruelty League
The Animal Anti-Cruelty League has been protecting and caring for animals since 1956. It is South Africa’s second largest independent animal welfare organization, relying entirely on the generosity and goodwill of the animal-loving public for financial support.
Animal Rescue Organisation
The Animal Rescue Organisation (ARO) was established in 1986 specifically to address the plight of animals living in township and informal settlement communities around the Cape. Thousands of animals live in amongst the poorest community settlements and up until 1986 had limited access to welfare services. The result of this was untold suffering and rampant over breeding of both dogs and cats.
BirdLife South Africa
BirdLife South Africa needs all the support it can get!
As South Africa's only dedicated bird conservation NGO, the conservation of our 850 birds is one of BirdLife South Africa's most important responsibilities. Our birds are under threat, with 125 species being listed in The Eskom Red Data Book of Birds of South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland.
Border Collie Rescue
In 1997, Border Collie Rescue (BCR), a non profit organisation, grew out of the need to find adoptive homes for the ever increasing number of unwanted Border Collies (BC). Since inception, over 4800 BCs in Gauteng alone have been homed, thanks to the outstanding commitment by the BCR and their supporters.
Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA)
The Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA) aims to provide clinic, patrol, and call out response, veterinary, and rehabilitation services to all working cart horses and donkeys living on the Cape Flats, and support, education and training to cart horse owners and drivers who use working cart horses as a means of generating income for themselves and their families.
Endangered Wildlife Trust
The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) was established in 1973 and is registered as a Non-profit Organisation. The Trust's first fundraising effort was also its founding moment. Clive Walker was inspired to paint a watercolour of a Cheetah, sell 250 signed and numbered copies, and to use this money to help conserve the Cheetah that was, and in some places still is, shot mercilessly.
EWT MyPlanet Rhino Fund
The creation of the EWT MyPlanet Rhino Fund aims to provide the public with a tangible way to actively support rhino conservation and anti-poaching efforts in South Africa through a consolidated fundraising programme.
In 2009 there was a dramatic increase in rhino poaching with 135 animals killed. In 2010 a staggering 333 animals were brutally slaughtered for their horns. Our planet is currently undergoing the largest mass extinction in its history with at least 30, 000 species becoming extinct each year. All is not lost however. Hope now lies in communities, organisations, governments and individuals working together towards saving our iconic wildlife. It is our duty to win the rhino war and set an example of what South Africans can achieve if we rally together behind a common cause.
