MIAVIT has contributed €5,000 to support animal health and development initiatives through its partnership with Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany. The donation reinforces the company’s commitment to sustainable agriculture, education, and long-term global development.
The internationally operating family business MIAVIT handed over a donation cheque for €5,000 to the non-profit organisation Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany at its Berlin office. The donation complements the support for the Christmas campaign #WeihnachtenOhneHunger (Christmas Without Hunger), in which MIAVIT doubled donations up to €30,000 and, in recognition of its great success, contributed a further €5,000 at short notice. The donation represents a growing partnership and underlines the joint commitment to animal health, sustainable agriculture and global development work.
Beyond developing innovative animal health products, MIAVIT has been actively involved with the non-profit organisation Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany since 2024. The organisation is committed to improving animal health in large parts of East Africa, thereby making an important contribution to stabilising local livelihoods. MIAVIT particularly values the educational work and training provided on site – help for self-help.
‘As a family business with over 60 years of history in animal nutrition, we see it as our responsibility to make a social contribution that goes beyond economic activity,’ says Dr Lea Middendorf, Head of Science to Business at MIAVIT. ‘The partnership with Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany enables us to contribute our technical expertise while gaining new perspectives beyond our European point of view.’ This engagement is particularly valuable for MIAVIT, as the company has been active in East Africa for years with a location in Kenya and can specifically strengthen its close ties to the region through its cooperation with Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany.
The company’s commitment deliberately goes beyond purely financial support and gives MIAVIT the opportunity to actively contribute its expertise to joint projects. ‘Our common goal is to develop practical strategies that improve the living conditions of humans and animals in the long term and, ideally, can also be transferred to other regions.’
The collaboration consistently follows the One Health approach, which considers human, animal and environmental health to be inextricably linked. MIAVIT’s guiding principle of ‘Prevention instead of medication’ also reflects this idea: disease should be minimised and the use of antibiotics sustainably reduced through needs-based animal nutrition.
With the handover of the donation cheque in Berlin, MIAVIT and Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Germany are emphasising how they actively live corporate social responsibility and address global challenges together.
