Thanks to your support to AKI, in 2022, we are helping a total of 20 organizations working in 14 countries. Strengthening local animal rescue and protection organizations is the key to systemic, long-term improvements in animal welfare.
When you donate to AKI, you're supporting 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 and change the way animals are treated. Our secondary focus area is Latin America/Caribbean.
AKI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in the
US State of New Mexico.
100% of your donations go to our Partners & Grantees!
We monitor the use of AKI donor funds so you can be confident that your donations are improving the lives of animals where your help is needed most & where it can do the most good.

We've added a new Partner Organization! As of January 2023, The Six Freedoms-Ghana is an AKI Partner. They join Sauvons nos Animaux in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who became an AKI Partner Organization in January 2022, as our two newest Partners.

Interested in being a mentor for our "Friendly Audit" program? 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 shortcomings and needs. Once we identify the needs, we match a volunteer mentor 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 strengthen Africa's animal welfare organizations.
