Leaving No Woman Behind
To ensure ‘No woman is left behind’, the VWB VETS project has given specific focus to equipping women with skills and knowledge on improved dairy farm management.
Veterinarians without Borders (VWB/VSF) is proud to be one of the founding member charities supported by Aeroplan's Member Donation Program.
Through this program, Aeroplan members can donate unused reward miles to VWB/VSF. In keeping with their environmental program, Aeroplan has committed to fully offset carbon emissions from all flights taken using donated miles.
To date, Aeroplan and its members have contributed more than 23 million miles to VWB/VSF.
We use donated miles to support our grassroots work in over a dozen countries around the world. Donated miles allow us to send volunteer veterinarians and vet students to work with local communities.
Veterinarians without Borders values our donor relationships. We adhere to the standards published by Imagine Canada's Ethical Code Program, which lays out a set of principles for charitable organizations, and assures that they manage and report their financial affairs responsibly.

Meaningful youth engagement in agriculture is key to the improvement of the social wellbeing of communities as it plays a critical role in enhancing food security.
Over 16 days, a small group of volunteer veterinarians and registered veterinary technologists travelled to three communities in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut region of Canada.
