Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Suisse (VSF-Suisse) works predominantly for and with people who depend on livestock for their livelihoods. VSF-Suisse supports the development of basic veterinary services through training of lay vets, advises livestock holders in the areas of breeding, hygiene and disease prevention and supports them in the production and marketing of their produce. All of those measures lead to improved nutrition of the beneficiaries. The veterinary development organisation works in six African Countries and employs approximately 170 predominantly local people. VSF-Suisse was founded in 1988 as an association with headquarters in Berne, Switzerland and is approved by Zewo.
