Since its inception, OIPA Cameroon has conducted humane education lessons in hundreds of local schools by using the Compassionate Citizen program. These classroom talks and materials teach children the importance of kindness to animals they have often seen as objects to tease or torment. Among other things, they learn why it’s important not to use kite string coated with glass on animals.

This program is partly funded by SPANA please donate to OIPA Cameroon to keep this essential program going forward in the coming years.

Because of the rampant over-population of street dogs in Cameron, OIPA makes it a priority to tackle this problem through initiatives including:

• Dog mobile clinics which provide free rabies vaccinations, deworming medication, iodine wound spray, and educational literature for pet owners.
• Spay and neuter campaign at dog clinics with the goal to reduce the number of puppies born across the Tanzania thereby preventing animal suffering.
• “Dog Dip” flea baths open each weekend at several veterinarian clinics where dog owners can bring their pets for a bath in dog-friendly chemicals which kills fleas and ticks

OIPA Cameroon is working, to improve the quality of life for donkeys, horses, as well as for people in the North and Far North Regions of Cameroon through greater understanding, collaboration and support, and by promoting lasting, mutual life-enhancing relationships. OIPA Cameroon provides veterinary care, education and support a thousand donkeys and their owners each year in the North and Far North Region of Cameroon.  Donkey owners are now able to confidently use a hand tool to establish the welfare of their animals and seek advice or veterinary care at the right moment. Grooming and hoof care are part of the welfare routine given to donkeys as donkey owners receive training from a well-experienced farrier.
