Dear Donors,
Last month, Ethical Vegan's Community shared the heartbreaking reality of animal slaughter in Uganda. Despite our best efforts, we were only able to save four sheep from slaughter. This continues to fuel our mission—not only to rescue animals but also to educate and raise awareness about veganism in Uganda.
Marcel’s Miraculous Recovery
We are thrilled to share the incredible story of Marcel, a goat we rescued last month. Thanks to your generosity, we raised $250 for his urgent medical treatment, and today, Marcel is thriving in our care.
A Miracle Birth at Our Sanctuary
In early 2024, we rescued a pregnant pig from a slaughterhouse, unknowingly saving nine unborn piglets. This heartwarming rescue highlights our belief that every life matters. Today, this mother and her babies are safe and thriving in our sanctuary.
Empowering Farmers & Promoting Plant-Based Living
Everlyn’s Transformation: From Poultry Farming to Sustainable Crops
Meet Everlyn, a 50-year-old farmer who once relied on selling hens for income. With our support, she transitioned to plant-based agriculture. Today, she proudly cultivates an acre of bananas and vegetables, proving that ethical, sustainable farming is possible.
Transforming Agriculture in Uganda
Through our August empowerment program, farmers who previously relied on animal agriculture are now successfully growing crops like tomatoes, Irish potatoes, and bananas. Your support helps provide them with seeds, training, and resources, creating a ripple effect of sustainability and compassion.
Education & Community Engagement
Nurturing Compassionate Hearts: Plant-Based Education for Orphans
We partnered with Mbale Child Care Foundation to teach children about veganism, sustainable gardening, and animal welfare. Through interactive workshops, we are shaping a future generation that values compassion and sustainability.
Merry Vegan Christmas: Sharing the Joy of Compassion
This past Christmas, we shared a delicious vegan feast with the children at Mbale Child Care Foundation, made from the very plants we’ve been nurturing. In the spirit of kindness, we also rescued a turkey from slaughter, giving it a second chance at life.
Urgent Call to Action: Help Us Build a Safe Haven for Rescued Animals
Our animal shelter is overcrowded and in desperate need of expansion. We need your support to build a larger, better-equipped shelter to house rescued pigs, turkeys, dogs, and other animals. Your donations will provide:
A safe and spacious shelter
Nutritious food and essential care
Veterinary support for rescued animals
Continuing Our Mission: Saying No to Cruelty
During the holiday season, many animals faced slaughter. While we successfully rescued several turkeys, many more animals are still at risk. We continue to visit markets and slaughterhouses, purchasing animals to save them from death. We know we can’t save them all, but with your support, we are making a difference—one life at a time.
Thank You for Standing with Us
We exist for every animal’s welfare because every life matters. Thank you for your continued support in creating a vegan, cruelty-free world. Together, we are changing lives—both human and animal.
With gratitude,
Brenda, Founder and President of Ethical Vegan's Community
