Proyecto ALA es una organización de beneficencia dedicada a cambiar al mundo mediante numerosas iniciativas diseñadas para ayudar a los animales necesitados.
Creemos que juntos podemos marcar una diferencia en el mundo para las futuras generaciones. Nuestra iniciativa ayuda a los animales en condición de vulnerabilidad y negligencia o que son víctimas de crueldad y maltrato.
Esto se logra mediante trabajo directo en las comunidades más vulnerables, con alianzas estratégicas que permiten promover el bienestar animal como componente integral del cambio de actitudes y acciones en las personas y su inclusión en las políticas públicas o empresariales, y fortaleciendo a las organizaciones protectoras de animales de base.
Todo esto redundará en beneficios para el ambiente, las personas y los animales mismos.
Red LAPA has as a base 22 organizations, from Mexico to Argentina as well as from the Caribbean; each one of them play an important role in the welfare of animals in their city or country.
So, after discussions with these organizations, each and every one of them agreed on the need and importance of having a regional network of animal welfare and protection organizations and of course being founding members of LAPA. All of these organizations are legally established in their countries and work on various fields of animal protection such as dog and cat shelters, animal rescue, humane education, animal law, animals in disasters, equine rescue, cage banning, veganism, reductionism, amongst others.
