current time there are no paid staff and no admin or management

volunteers. There are a small number of volunteers who help to raise
funds for the charity.
The charity works closely with the Egyptian registered charity Animal
Welfare of Luxor, registered in Luxor as charity No 7.
The major risk to AWOL’s work in Luxor is the continued unstable financial
state of the country and the threat of terror activities. AWOL has addressed this issue by ensuring there is 6 months contingency at all
times and by making sure that procedures are in place that ensure funds
can reach the country should there be any issues with travel or security in

Egypt.

Section D Achievements and performance

AWOL continued to provide essential veterinary treatment to Summary of the main hundreds of achievements of the animals throughout the year. Hundreds of soft head collars have charity during the year been fitted to working donkeys along with soft breaching straps, back cushions and winter coats. All tack is made at the AWOL centre using locally sourced products. The charity also makes soft dog collars and has supplied many hundreds of these, along with leads, to local dogs.

AWOL was pleased to be able to take on a second vet in Luxor at the beginning of the year. Further training was arranged in Cairo specifically in spay and neuter techniques. The charity’s first vet also underwent further training in ‘Surgical Operation of Pet Animals’ and ‘Medicine

and Infectious Diseases in Pet Animals’. AWOL is keen to address the problem of unwanted street dogs by offering free spay and neutering. Street dogs are often treated cruelly and even poisoned so the aim is to reduce the number of puppies born to a life of hardship and cruelty.

A team of vets from the Animal Medical Centre in Cairo were welcomed at the AWOL centre in November to carry out a spay/neuter program. The charity also benefitted from a donation of 100 Pfizer rabies vaccinations which the Cairo team brought with them.

A new disinfectant and sterilisation spray unit was purchased to sterilise the AWOL medical centre on a daily basis.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions fund-raising events were not possible but online and Facebook fundraising continued thanks to our supporters.
