Founded in 2021, we follow Effective Altruism principles, ensuring we use our funds to make the biggest difference for the most animals possible.
Right now, that means our primary focus is on the 120 million chickens bred for meat each year in Aotearoa. We work with food businesses to improve the way chickens are farmed.
