Vets Without Borders Ireland is a non-profit organisation working with small-scale livestock farmers and their families and communities in the Developing World to change lives through improving livestock husbandry, health and welfare.

Our Values:

Solidarity:
Our values are rooted in a sense of solidarity with small-scale livestock farmers in the Developing World arising from our backgrounds in agriculture and veterinary medicine in Ireland. We understand the challenges faced by small holding farmers and we want to help where we can. 

Knowledge Sharing:
Our focus on assisting farming families to improve the productivity, health and welfare of their livestock is based on a culture of volunteerism amongst our supporters and a desire to share our professional knowledge.

Collaboration:
We believe in collaborating with other like-minded individuals and organisations to enable us to be as effective as possible.

Respect:
Our work with farming families is based on a mutual respect and a belief that listening and empowering these communities is the most effective way to improve their circumstances. We ensure that marginalised groups such as women, and ethnic and religious minorities are at the heart of the projects in the communities we partner with.

Learning:
At all times we strive to be a learning organisation, open to new ideas, approaches and opportunities which further our aims.
