We work with the LSPCA to provide essential free outreach clinics in the community for street dogs and working equids, join us on our exciting adventure! We aim to improve animal welfare through the education of veterinary students and para-vets alike.

Vet students

Join us for surgical and field anaesthesia training courses in and around Lilongwe, Malawi. Help us to provide free equine castration, dentistry and canine neutering and rabies vaccination services. All of our work is carried out in the field and villages for the local communities.  


Qualified vets

We need you to help us on our journey to provide educational training courses for Malawian veterinary students and visiting international students alike! We are looking for both equine and small animal vets to join us!

Our story…

Veterinary Education Malawi partners with the Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals

Co-founders Rebecca and Angus volunteered with the LSPCA in 2020 and were inspired by the work of the LSPCA and in the process fell in love with Malawi.


During our time in Malawi, we ran lecture based and practical classes for vet students studying at the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR) and created CPD for para vets.


With your help we can continue our work!


We work with the LSPCA, lead by CEO Eveline Sibindi Van Dam and their head vet Dr Tinotenda Razemba.


Check out the great work the LSPCA does here

The LSPCA provides on the ground logistics, communication and coordiation of clinics aswell as the on-site accomodation for volunteers at their new purpose built veterinary clinic.

Next project starting soon!

“It is hard to put into words how fantastic I found this project. It exceeded my expectations and I am so sad to be back in the UK!”


 “Everyone was extremely helpful, for example giving us taxi numbers, a SIM & phone, car rental, restaurant recommendations, and things like that are invaluable in a new place! You made this experience one that I will never forget so thank you for that! I also really enjoyed trying the local cuisine.. apart from chibuku….”
