Your donations to AKI help support Animal Rescue and Protection Organizations in poor countries, primarily in Africa, a part of the world that is most overlooked by donors, so in need of our support, and where amazing local people and organizations are working every day to save animals, improve their lives, and change the way animals are treated. Our secondary focus area is Latin America-Caribbean.
Thanks to your support to AKI, in 2021, we helped a total of 20 organizations working in 15 countries. Strengthening local animal rescue and protection organizations is the key to systemic, sustained improvements in animal welfare.
AKI closely tracks the use of AKI donor funds so that you can be sure your donations are used to improve the lives of animals where your help is needed most.

As part of our efforts to strengthen animal welfare organizations in poor countries, mainly in Africa, we're conducting "Friendly Audits" of select organizations to identify their needs and shortcomings. Once we identify the needs, we match a volunteer to the organization to help address them. Currently, 5 volunteers are helping 5 organizations build websites, strengthen their social media presence, edit educational material, and search for grants. If you're interested in volunteering, get in touch to discuss how you can help Africa's animal welfare organizations grow.
AKI is a 2021 Great Non-Profit: Check out our 5 star reviews on Great Non-Profits (and please add your 5-star review!). Not only that, we've achieved the Platinum Seal of Transparency on GuideStar indicating the highest level of transparency.
AKI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in the
