Once again in 2025, Vet Treks team returned to Kenya. Our mission was to help train the next generation of Kenyan veterinary professionals, on a platform of service to communities in need.
Working with local veterinarians, we provided rabies vaccinations for 736 dogs, cats, and donkeys, and sterilized 317 dogs and cats were safely sterilized. We worked with 16 senior veterinary interns, upskilling them in surgical technique and teaching our model of high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter, so they can carry this work forward in their own communities.
At the conclusion of the campaign, more then $25,000 worth of surgical equipment, medications, and supplies were donated to the KSPCA, the Community Animal Health Initiative, and the University of Egerton School of Veterinary Medicine Surgery Department - tools that will continue to serve animals in communities of need.
Looking toward 2026 and beyond, Vet Treks is pursuing a range of promising avenues - both in Kenya and in other underserved regions - to continue building sustainable veterinary capacity. Even as international regulatory environments evolve, our purpose remains clear: empower local veterinarians through advanced training, donated equipment and supplies, and ongoing professional support. Because of your partnership, Vet Treks will continue to grow, adapt, and serve where the need is greatest.
