On 04 October 2016, Sindh Rural Support Organization commemorated “World Animal Day” under the theme, “Animal welfare should be the concern of everyone”, in Sukkur, Larkana and Jacobabad by team of “Equine Welfare Project” (partnership of SRSO and The Brooke).
The commemoration was aimed at promoting awareness creation to improve the lives and livelihood of both animals and the people. Animals too play crucial roles in the socioeconomic development of any country.
Awareness sessions were conducted in camps for the welfare and five freedoms of animals. Speaking on the occasion, coordinator of the Brook Project said taking care of the welfare of Equine animals is equally important as these animals are very important in communities, particularly farming communities. He said, caring for animals will greatly improve production and productivity. The Brooke-SRSO distributed Feed bags and awareness materiel in equine owners.
Trained LSPs, Equine owners and community members participated in awareness walks, arranged in Sukkur, Larkana and Jacobabad, districts.
