Due to the failure of Venezuela's health system and its economic collapse, many people find it difficult to get medical care. Current economic statistics estimate that 90% of Venezuelans are now living in poverty. When children, expectant mothers, orphans, seniors do not receive the proper nutrition, medical care, preventative care, diagnostics and medication; common health problems can turn into a lifetime of serious health conditions and possible death. SAI is saving lives in Venezuela.

There are tens of thousands of dogs roaming the streets of Venezuela! The dogs are starving, injured, sick, abused and neglected. Dog owners in Venezuela have been forced to abandon their pets because dog food and medical care has become unaffordable due to the economic crisis plaguing the country. We have come to the rescue! SAI-A&G has built the largest no-kill sanctuary in Venezuela to rescue, rehabilitate, provide medical care, neutering/spaying and shelter to homeless dogs!

The food crisis in Venezuela is real and harms all components of society. When kids experience severe forms of malnutrition they experience a delay in their growth which affects them not just physically, but can also affect their mental growth. Malnutrition is taking lives in orphanages due to the lack of food supplies provided by the current government. Without your help, there is no hope for these innocent kids.

Rare, endangered animals in Venezuelan public zoos are dying from starvation and lack of medical care. Zoo keepers have abandoned their posts due to the lack of money and resources to feed and protect these captive animals. Imagine being a caged monkey or sloth and suddenly there is no one to feed you and no veterinarian give you medical care. It's a nightmare! That's why South American Initiative has a team of professionals to rescue these captive animals by delivering vital food and medicine.
