Veterinary Conservation Project in South Africa

We are a group of seven veterinary nursing university students, soon to be Registered Veterinary Nurses, from the College of Animal Welfare. This September, we have the incredible opportunity to embark on a life-changing veterinary and wildlife conservation project in South Africa in partnership with Gap Africa Projects. This immersive experience will allow us to gain hands-on experience in wildlife veterinary care, including caring for endangered species and contributing to vital conservation efforts.

This trip is not only a unique learning opportunity for us, but it will also help us develop invaluable skills that we can apply directly to our careers after university. By engaging in real-world veterinary practices and animal conservation work, we will enhance our ability to shape the future of the veterinary industry and the role of the veterinary nurse . The knowledge we gain during this project will undoubtedly contribute to veterinary research and practice, particularly in the UK, where we can bring new perspectives and insights into animal care and wildlife conservation.

Your contribution will help fund essential aspects of our trip, including travel, accommodation, and veterinary resources, and will directly support the ongoing conservation work of the team in South Africa.

The total cost of the project for each participant is £2,795, but any donation, no matter the size, would go a long way toward helping us achieve our goal. For more information on the project and how the funds will be used, please visit the Gap Africa Projects website at https://gapafricaprojects.com/projects/group-veterinary-projects/.

We truly believe that this project will not only expand our veterinary knowledge but will also have a lasting positive impact on wildlife conservation. We would be thrilled if you could be a part of it.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We sincerely hope that, with your help, we can continue working toward a future where animals and their habitats are protected for generations to come.
