This Valentine’s Day, the focus is on compassion that extends to every living being. On 14th February 2026, the Animal Welfare Run will bring communities together to raise awareness and take action for the animals we share our world with.

This run is a powerful step toward change. Its impact on animal welfare in Uganda will be felt in several ways:

• Raising Awareness: The event shines a spotlight on the importance of treating animals with dignity and care inspiring individuals and families to adopt more humane practices in everyday life.
• Community Mobilization: By uniting people from all walks of life, the run builds a collective voice that strengthens grassroots advocacy for animals.
• Resource Generation: Funds and support raised during the event will go directly toward shelters, veterinary outreach and education programs improving the lives of animals in need.
• Policy and Cultural Influence: Public participation helps push for stronger animal welfare policies and encourages cultural shifts toward compassion in farming, pet care and wildlife protection.
• Youth Engagement: Involving young people ensures the next generation grows up with empathy and responsibility toward animals, creating lasting change.

Expect a lively, inspiring atmosphere where every stride carries meaning. By joining, you’re not just running. You’re helping shape a future where animals in Uganda are treated with respect, kindness and care.

So lace up, bring your energy and let’s run for change because together, we can make Uganda a better home for every creature.
