VETS UNITED is happy to celebrate Mahulay Ceesay, an exceptional young animal welfare advocate whose impact has been felt across multiple fronts in The Gambia.

As the former head of the drama team, she transformed the group into a powerful platform for animal welfare education and awareness. Under her leadership, the team earned the prestigious Animal Welfare Advocate of the Year Award. She recently completed her tenure as financial secretary of the Animal Welfare Advocates Association of The Gambia (AWAAG).

Mahulay Ceesay won the Animal Welfare Poetry Competition (funded by Dr Kebba Daffeh and Dr. Buba Badjie) and has authored numerous short stories that educate, inspire, and promote compassion for animals. She has consistently contributed to the Needy Students Scholarship Fund, showing her commitment to supporting young people in achieving their educational aspirations.

We hope that other young animal welfare advocates would learn from the works of Mahulay Ceesay.

ANIMAL ADVOCATES ASSOCIATION - THE GAMBIA was honored to Participate in General Meeting with Group Naru Gorr
at N.B.R upper Nuimi on the 4th May 2026, for their Annual General Meeting.

Group Naru Gorr is a highly dedicated and community-based organization, recognized as the very first community animal welfare association in the region. Composed primarily of equine owners, specifically proud horses and donkey owners, this group is committed to ensuring the well-being of their animals and upholding the Five Fundamental Freedoms. What makes this group truly special is its composition; it brings together people of various age groups, with strong representation from the youth, all united by their love and care for animals.

The representative of Animal welfare advocates was Hon. Malick Kah. During the deliberations, he highlighted several key points, including:

- The vital role that equines play in the socio-economic development of local communities.
- The importance of animal welfare practices in maintaining healthy animals.
- How proper care directly promotes and improves the livelihoods of donkey owners.

The meeting was not only informative but also very lively and inspiring. It concluded with a showcase of the donkeys, and horses where members proudly displayed their animals. It was truly heartwarming to witness the deep respect these owners have for their animals, treating them not just as working partners, but as valued members of their families.

We are proud to support such initiatives that empower communities while championing animal welfare.

Warm regards,

Together we'll Improve Animal Welfare in The Gambia πŸ‡¬πŸ‡² β™₯️
