Do you love animals? Think they get the short end of the stick?

Ready to cast your vote for the underdog – literally?

Then please VOTE HERE for Animal-Kind International (AKI).

It takes less than a minute.

AKI is a small but established non-profit that does amazing work helping animals world-wide.

100% of its donations go to the causes it supports. NONE to administrative costs!

If it wins, it will be one of 3 charities that people can donate their purchase funds to when they buy from One Million for Good. (One Million for Good is the brain-child of the inspired Courtney Carver and is the site where you vote.)

AKI Offers Hope and Solutions

I know Karen Menczer, the founder of Animal-Kind International personally. In fact, I’m proud to call her a friend.

I can assure you of her integrity and the legitimacy of AKI. It’s a labor of love and she’s extremely dedicated.

But it’s not just a heart thing.

She’s an efficient organizer with the requisite connections and a great track record.

I’m especially impressed with the fact that AKI is not a huge, impersonal organization, but instead is intimate with the day-to-day activities of their partner organizations and even the individual animals they help.

Their careful attention to detail is apparent on all of their partner pages, like this one for Jamaica, or the Honduras page here. They’re heart-breaking and heart-warming at the same time.

As explained on their site,  “AKI’s partner organizations were chosen because AKI is familiar with their programs, their staff, and their use of funds, and because we are able to get regular updates about their programs and how AKI funds are used—and we know this information is important for our donors, so they can feel secure in the knowledge that their donations are being put to good use.”

You Can Help – No Strings Attached

Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

- Albert Einstein
