Share our posts
A fast, easy and powerful way to help!

Volunteer at our neuter campaigns
Each person covers own travel costs, we're proud that 100% of the money OHANA gets truly goes to animals!
Volunteering is the act of giving of oneself, without expecting something in return.
If costs are a concern, volunteer closer to home where a flight/hotel are not necessary.​​
​
Sign up for our courses
Speakers and organisers work pro-bono, 100% of profits are used to help animals.
​

Your help will be advertised on our website, emails and social media.

Give a webinar
Only Vet Specialists (Diplomates).
Get supplies for the animals!
Contact vet hospitals, pharmaceuticals & food manufacturers to gather drugs, medical supplies or food. The charities we support are in São Tomé (Africa), Porto & Azores (Portugal), Otavalo (Ecuador) and Lima (Peru). We don't have a physical space or people coming & going - if you want to help, that will include you finding a courier and posting the suppliers.

Toys for African children!
Most children of São Tomé e Príncipe don't have ANY toys - they fight for a football.
Gather dolls, colouring books/pencils and footballs (empty to save space, they can be filled up with air over there).
Lisbon is the gateway to São Tomé; when you post the toys to Lisbon, Teresa from Insta account @takecair can help taking them to São Tomé.
Donate
£200 would feed 10 dogs for a month.
£2000 would spay 50 dogs, preventing 5000 unwanted puppies being born on the street.​​

How you can help animals

Foster
Shelters are scary places. Foster to help a dog or cat feel safe, and become adoptable.
Most shelters cover all expenses (food, veterinary care)
​
Volunteer at your local shelter
Millions of dogs and cats live in a cage almost 24h/day and look forward for 15min with you💔
Don't ignore animal suffering
If you see a dog on a chain, the owner may simply be doing what they've always known.
A kind discussion could encourage them to take the dog out for a walk every day.
​
Include your pet in your will
Ask a relative to look after your pet, and include them both in your will - don't send your pet to a shelter💔
How can people leave everything to their family and nothing to the pets? Pets are family too!
​
Include a charity in your will
Your passion for animals can continue to make a difference, what a great way to leave a memory of your life!
Don't shop. Adopt!
You save 2 lives - the dog you got from the shelter, and the street dog who can now be rescued into that available kennel!​​​​​​​
'Ethical breeding' is a concept people created not to feel bad about buying dogs, while millions live a miserable life in cages or are euthanised due to lack of space. Until they all find a home, breeding or buying can never be ethical.
Be their voice
Advocate for fostering, shelter volunteering, adopting, and for including animals in wills - on social media, at work, and when you are with family & friends. Each person you inspire will likely go on and change dozens of lives :)
You don't need to do everything. Just SOMETHING.
