Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The charity continues to provide free veterinary treatment for the animals in Luxor. Most of the population of Luxor are unable to pay for treatment for their animals. The majority of animals treated are working donkeys which are often the only means of the owners making a living. By ensuring the health of the donkeys the owners are able to continue to work them and provide for their families. Dogs are fitted with soft dog collars which replace the often painful and dangerous wire, chains or rope used by the local owners. The charity offers free spay and neuter for dogs and cats to try to reduce the population of neglected and mistreated street animals. Education sessions are carried out at the veterinary centre to educate children on the correct treatment of animals – specifically dogs as they are the most mistreated animal in Luxor.
