Sustainability is the point
We don't chase short-term gains, and we're not building an organization that depends on foreign funding to survive. For animal welfare in Jordan to mean anything lasting, it needs to be Jordanian-led — with the local capacity to keep going after the grant cycles end and the headlines fade. We welcome partnerships, and the ones we value most are the ones that leave us more self-sufficient over time, not less.
Research and education are how we get there.
This is why research and education sit at the core of our work. Direct welfare alone is treadmill work — you treat the animal in front of you, and another arrives tomorrow. Research produces the evidence that lets us target scarce resources where they generate the most lasting impact. Education shifts attitudes and trains the veterinarians whose work will outlive any single program or grant cycle. Both are how short-term care becomes long-term change.
Welfare, self-sustained.
The numbers below are a live report of one slice of this work — our welfare programs, almost entirely sustained by VET9, our veterinary clinic.
