Formed in 2014, Orangutan Veterinary Aid (OVAID) is a voluntary run charity that provides veterinary equipment, medicines, practical veterinary assistance, and learning opportunities for orangutan rescue groups and centres in Indonesia and Malaysia.

By its actions, the charity works to improve resources for rescued orangutans and to improve welfare. In a world of increasing knowledge base the charity actively assists veterinarians working in the field of orangutan conservation through up-skilling, training programmes, and its OVAID Bronwyn Watson Scholarship.

The charity also considers it vital to spread awareness of the negative effects of deforestation for the orangutan, countless other wildlife species and human populations.

The charity is independent and free to challenge. 

Our ethos is ‘always what is best for the orangutan’ and your support for this charity will save orangutan lives.
