PATH - Creating A World Where People & Animals Thrive Together!
People Protecting Animals & Their Habitats-PATH advocates for the humane treatment of all animals, as well as the conservation and protection of areas that are vital to the survival of endangered or threatened species.We accomplish this by providing communities with educational and vocational opportunities that provide realistic and sustainable solutions that both improve the quality of animal’s lives, and stop habitat destruction.
PATH has developed a realistic solution to the animal welfare challenges of the developing world—a model that creates economic growth and builds local capacity by providing educational and vocational opportunities in animal care and protection.
PATH develops and operates innovative programs that combine animal welfare, education, and community development. We initiate programs that become sustainable, productive parts of local economies. We believe that the majority of people in the world respect animals and that economic development is the most realistic approach to improving the lives of animals in impoverished areas. The lives of animals are transformed when communities have the resources and opportunities to show their love and respect for them.
PATH captains global, national, and local collaboration, engaging partners from all sectors to address challenging animal welfare issues. We believe in accountability, transparency, and ethical principles in all of our actions. We both use and contribute to best practices within the animal welfare field.
PATH opens and operates modern free-care veterinary facilities in developing countries. We spay/neuter and provide veterinary and nutritional care to animals in need. PATH provides paid training to veterinary assistants and clinic administrators as well as scholarships to veterinary schools within Central America for dedicated local students.
PATH’s designs and financially sponsors humane education programs that offer children lesson plans based on the care and welfare of animals, these young people learn the three R's (reading, writing and arithmetic) as well as empathy, tolerance, and non-violence toward all creatures. PATH also provides children opportunities to humanely care for sick, injured, and/or vulnerable animals.
PATH staff and volunteers work to ensure that working horses throughout Nicaragua receive adequate nutrition, medical care, parasite treatments, and pain-free harnesses.
The number of animals we can help is limited only by available resources. In other words, the greater our resources, the more children and animals we can help. PATH needs your continued financial support. We also need donations of airline frequent flyer miles. We need veterinarians to donate equipment and supplies that they can do without. Please help us bring comfort and love to suffering animals.
PATH administrative staff receive no compensation – with the exception of local Nicaraguan employees, PATH is an all-volunteer 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt corporation operating in Nicaragua and the United States of America.
