Soweto Animals Rescue And Advisory Centre is a registered non-profit, NPO number 104-621
SARAC is an organization run by animal behaviourists with an emphasis on creating a link between animals and humans by advising and educating the community of Soweto.
Our key objective is to change people’s attitudes towards animals by informing the next generation of the worth of animal care and awareness of cruelty to those without a voice. These are the ambassadors for the helpless, and we affectionately call them “Jerry’s Rangers”.
In 2011 Jerry and Vincent set up the organisation in a rented house in Naledi, Soweto. They run various ‘fun days’ at schools, focusing on the education of children in caring for animals, as well as various other day to day programmes involving the community as a whole.
Jerry also rescues animals, feeds and inoculates cats and dogs in the community. He is always on the look out for any cruelty to animals, and speaks up for the voiceless.
Our mission is to improve the living conditions of animals in Soweto and surrounds by educating and changing people’s attitudes towards animals, holding education classes for children, making them aware of cruelty to those without a voice; enlist the help of children (called Jerry’s Rangers) to be our eyes and ears and to report any cruelty to us; to provide community assistance with sterilisation, dipping, deworming and medical care; and to rescue animals in need, take care of them and find them good homes.
