The National Sterilization Project
The NSP is passionate about South Africa’s animals, which deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. By working in partnership with the community, we can make a substantial difference in protecting these animals.
The National Sterilization Project (NSP) was established in 2008 to reduce the growing number of unwanted and neglected pets through an ongoing, nationwide mass sterilization program. A registered non-profit organization (NPO 068-048), the NSP receives no government funding and relies solely on the generosity of the animal loving public.
Our mission is to subsidize each sterilization performed by our ten golden beneficiaries.
To increase the number of sterilizations performed by partnering with more animal welfare groups that have established sterilization programs.
To keep on growing until we have a golden beneficiary in every region in South Africa
To document every sterilization in which the NSP has been involved, and to provide our donors with these tangible results via our website.
NSP Beneficiaries
WHY IS STERILIZATION VITALLY IMPORTANT?
- More than 7300 dogs and cats are put down each week in South Africa, simply because they are unwanted.
- Poor communities are often hard-pressed to take care of their pets and to sterilize them.
- Unwanted animals run the risk of spreading diseases, such as scabies, rabies, hook worm, tape worm and toxoplasmosis.
- 1 dog not sterilized creates 67 000 unwanted and neglected dogs in 5 years.
- 7300 animals are euthanised a day.
- The NSP plays an important financial role by subsidizing sterilizations performed through its network of beneficiaries.
- The NSP offers a financial and health solution to many people who cannot afford to sterilize their pets.
We believe that no-one should be born into abject poverty, hardship and disease. The same holds true for the cats and dogs of South Africa.
