Organisations Directory
There are many opportunities for volunteer veterinarians, vet nurses and other motivated people to work for veterinary NGOs throughout the Asia Pacific region, delivering projects to improve animal welfare and community health.
Vets Beyond Borders runs our own programmes but also endeavours to assist other similar organisations where possible with advice, training, the sharing of resources and the referral of volunteers. The organisations listed in this directory are separate to Vets Beyond Borders.
If you are interested in working on any of these projects you will need to contact them directly. Vets Beyond Borders will assist where possible but is not directly responsible for the management or running of the following organisations or the placement of volunteers within them.
Any specific enquiries about a particular project should be directed to the organisation that runs it by the listed contact details.
If you are an organisation that would like to be included in this directory please contact Vets Beyond Borders at secretariat@vetsbeyondborders.org.
