Vets on a Mission
HOW IT GOT STARTED
VET BOOKS FOR AFRICA IS A TRULY UNIQUE, STUDENT-RUN VENTURE THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1993 WITH THE AIM TO EMPOWER OUR FELLOW VETERINARY UNIVERSITIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS BETWEEN VETERINARY STUDENTS. WE ARE BASED IN ONDERSTEPOORT, PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA.
SINCE 1993 A GROUP OF 8 SOUTH AFRICAN VETERINARY STUDENTS HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS AMAZING TRIP BIANNUALLY, MAKING A BIGGER IMPACT EVERY TIME. SO FAR WE HAVE COLLECTIVELY MADE 14 TRIPS, REACHED 6 UNIVERSITIES, TRAVELED 97 000 KILOMETERS AND DISTRIBUTED APPROXIMATELY 2600 BOOKS.
COMMITTEE 2021/22
OUR MISSION
We aim to distribute textbooks, journals and other veterinary supplies and equipment to veterinary faculties, rural communities and schools in various countries of Africa, while aiding and volunteering at veterinary clinics and conservation sanctuaries en route.
We strive to promote education and conservation through our actions and to unite veterinary students of Africa in order to achieve the ultimate goal of preserving this world for generations to come.
OUR VISION
Unlocking the true potential of conservation in Africa through the education of its people. One Health. One Africa.
