Our History

Daniel Abiliba, a member of a group of final-year veterinary students, carried out anecdotal studies to determine the animal welfare awareness level in basic school children and youth and how frequently animal welfare issues made it to mainstream media.

Culminating on the research, Daniel founded a group on 3rd November 2021 to address animal welfare issues in Ghana and across Africa. The group was later renamed Animal Welfare League, Ghana(AWL) and registered as Animal Welfare League Limited By Guarantee at the Registrar General Department of Ghana in Accra on 7th April 2022.

Since then, AWL has been working with Animal Advocacy Africa to develop an effective organizational framework and strategies and has joined Open Wing Alliance and Aquatic Animal Alliance to contribute to the global animal welfare movement.
