What we do
We educate children, consumers and professionals to promote kindness and compassion for people, animals and the environment among Asian societies.
With the future in mind, education is at the core of all we do. We teach children about respect and kindness, promote responsibility among consumers for the goods they buy, and collaborate with influential professionals in government, education, law, and veterinary practice.
ACTAsia initiates education programmes for gradual and sustainable social change
- We aim to cultivate a deeper level of understanding of the interdependence of all living things among the next generation – because children will eventually be responsible for a better future
- We aim to inform consumers about the production processes behind the goods they buy, so that each person has the ability to make informed choices
- We aim to build a network of professionals in Asian societies who have access to best-practice knowledge and skills to ensure high quality animal welfare standards are in place and upheld
