Our main aim at PAWS is to make Mauritius a better place for animals. We feel the best way to achieve this is by educating the children of Mauritius.

When we visit schools we:

• explain to the children that animals have basic needs, such as food and water, shelter, exercise and health care.
• talk about the benefits of sterilisation.
• explain to the children that it is our responsibility as owners, to meet our animals' needs.
• encourage the children to ask questions, and to talk about their own pets.
• make the whole thing fun, and that way, the children remember our message.

We give similar talks to adults in English, French and Creole. If you know of a school, or group who is interested in our Pet Care Programme, please contact the PAWS office.
