Animal welfare in general is still not a priority to most of the communities as they are faced with many other life challenges, such as street children, extreme poverty hunger and climate changes. Thus, people have less empathy for animals, which are often undernourished, affected by parasitic diseases, tortured and killed or (overworked, overloaded, working without harnesses) when it comes to working animals. The current state of animal welfare in the country need attention and a long-term, sustainable solution. TAWESO operates in many parts of the country in the Coast, Central, Southern and Lake zones
