COHERS: An Overview

Facilitated by Veterinarians Without Borders North America/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Amérique du Nord, this program embodies a comprehensive approach to public health, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship.

The program adopts an interdisciplinary approach to unify public health, veterinary sciences, and environmental policies under a single umbrella, offering a balanced focus on human, animal, and ecosystem well-being.

With operations extending across Rwanda and Senegal, COHERS serves as a cornerstone for region-specific solutions to global challenges, thereby contributing to international public health and sustainable development goals.

Through targeted educational programs, community-based interventions, and sustainable development projects, COHERS is committed to equipping local populations with the tools and knowledge necessary for long-term resilience and prosperity.
