About Animal Welfare Karpathos
Animal Welfare Karpathos focuses on high quality spay/neuter & wellness programs combined with educational activities for kids and youth.
It is the core belief of AWK's founder that without the empowerment of young kids, we cannot have a long term positive impact on animal welfare. For this reason, with each of AWK's campaigns for the strays, kids are always invited to our projects.
Moreover, with our core network of dedicated local volunteers and partners we can respond to animals in distress—by providing food and water, removing them from danger, giving first aid, or taking injured animals for veterinary treatment.
We actively encourage people—residents and visitors—to adopt strays, spay and neuter animals, and help to improve the health and well-being of all the island's animals.
Through education, local community activities, and collaborative support from our international membership and partners, we work to secure a better future for our animals.
Challenge
We can only reach our goals with your support. Our non-for-profit survives only with donations and the hours of dedication spent by our volunteers.
Solution
To have funds on-hand to assist with making sure injured strays get proper medical attention and care.
To facilitate our feeders around the island and a free spay/neuter program.
To assist with paying for the transportation of rescue animals to their forever homes.
To raise funds in order to help build, maintain and staff an animal shelter on the island.
People joining forces can make such a huge difference in the life of an animal in need.

Results
Animal Welfare Karpathos relies on volunteers and donations for all of its activities. If it weren't for the dedicated work of kind people, non of the rescue work or programs would be possible. With that said, people across the island came together once again to benefit the strays. You can check out some of our achievements by clicking the link below and navigating through our website.
