At Dog School, children gain a sense of achievement

6 hours ago

Dog School by Funda Nenja in South Africa teaches children to care for and train their dogs, fostering trust, dignity, and confidence.
The program started in 2009 as a free weekly initiative, evolving from animal welfare to also support children from difficult backgrounds.
Children gain a sense of achievement and leadership through dog training, with activities improving their empathy and reducing fear of animals.
Funda Nenja provides veterinary care, food parcels, and counseling, helping families and ensuring dogs are treated humanely.
The program offers purpose and skills to participants, with some, like Vuyo Lakani, finding employment and pathways to further opportunities.
