Help us support companion animals in Tonga

Every year for the last almost 10 years (excluding those affected by Covid), a group of 25 Unitec staff and students join with South Pacific Animal Welfare to run a week-long free vaccination and desexing clinic in the Kingdom of Tonga. There is no regular access to veterinary care in Tonga and so these clinics help to save lives and vastly improve the health and wellbeing of Tongan animals.

After two agonising years of lockdowns preventing us from travelling, we are finally heading back this December for what is sure to be one of our busiest clinics to date!! These animals will have been without veterinary care for THREE years by the time we arrive on December 2nd, and so we desperately need your help to get a large enough team on the ground to assist!

Please consider donating, helping to support the costs of sending additional team members (veterinary nurses and vets) to support this year’s vitally important clinic!
