Partners For Conservation is a Rwanda-based non-profit organization working to promote biodiversity conservation while improving the well-being and resilience of communities living around important ecosystems and protected areas. The Education Supporter program provides volunteers with an opportunity to share knowledge, skills, and practical experience with local communities, children, students, and other learners. PFC believes that education and skills development can strengthen people's ability to participate in conservation, improve livelihoods, and contribute to healthier and more sustainable communities. The program is based on the principle that effective conservation benefits from combining local knowledge and experience with appropriate scientific and practical knowledge. Volunteers therefore support learning and awareness activities that respond to locally identified needs. Depending on their interests, skills, and experience, volunteers may support adult literacy, financial literacy, language learning, communication and information technology, gender equality and human rights awareness, water, sanitation and hygiene, public health, sexual and reproductive health education, tourism and hospitality, tour guiding, vocational skills, sewing and fashion design, music, or environmental and conservation education. Volunteers may also assist in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, vocational institutions, universities, and community learning settings. Activities are agreed with PFC and the host community to ensure that they are relevant, appropriate, and beneficial to participants. The program offers volunteers a meaningful opportunity to exchange knowledge, learn from local communities, and contribute to education, conservation, and community development in Rwanda.
Lanta Animal Welfare was founded by Junie Kovacs in 2005. Her mission was to end the suffering of the hundreds of homeless, abused, and injured animals on Koh Lanta. To date, we have sterilized and treated over 85,000 animals, and with your support, we continue to grow, helping more and more animals each year. At Lanta Animal Welfare, we provide critical, life-saving treatment to injured and sick stray animals across Koh Lanta. Our veterinary team delivers urgent medical care, including emergency first aid, vaccinations, wound treatment, and preventative healthcare for animals in distress. LAW’s main focus is the treatment of stray animals and sterilizations. Animals are brought to us for many different conditions, from skin problems to road traffic accidents and poisonings. Stray animals will sometimes stay with us for several weeks to ensure they are fit and well before they are released back where they came from. Unfortunately, some of the animals that find themselves needing our help are unable to return to where they came from. This may be because they were too young upon their arrival, they are at risk of abuse, or simply because they have undergone treatment for such a long period that we can no longer return them. These animals will remain at the centre and will join our rehoming programme, with over 150 animals each year finding loving homes both here in Thailand and across the world.
