What an exciting first quarter 2021:
April 2021 we have made two emergency vitamins payments! We have offered more, but the zoo had a more pressing need for the clean water basins, our micro project. We have focused on this project, which is almost completed, but have not lost sight of the vital food,water,vitamins, and medication needs! We have started a newsletter to keep our supporters up to date on the zoo and how the donations are being used. We have plans to expand the newsletter.
May 2021 we are working with the zoo before their holiday to have payments and enough supplies on hand, as during the holiday period they do not work nor are the shops are open. We are sending funds to zoo for new cleaning tools and disinfectant. This is essential for the animals health and care.
May 2021 we had have had a soft reboot of our adoption program, and had one lioness Zuhor adopted by another organization Lion'S Roar. Keep your eyes out for the information in our May newlsletter. The generous and kind adoptions of Zuhor will help care for the animlas, and we hope we can get some enrichments soon to our animals. Thank you so much Lion'S Roar.
We have been fortunate in these difficult times that our supporters have donated and we can provide them with essential vitamins at this time. People ask why vitamins and not more food? In a war zone, the food is scarce so we must ensure we can provide life saving food but also vitamins and minerals. The animals receive basic rations of daily food intake and A Lion's Heart provides 100% vitamins,minerals, and vital clean water.
5 years of caring and providing we are proud that we have not lost a single animals to hunger, sickness, or lack of care. Our Taiz Zoo animals are surviving the war due to our supporters, the zoo staff and the veterinarian. We are succeeding together!
On behalf of the nearly 300 animals at the Taiz Zoo, Yemen Thank-You!
A Lion's Heart
