KwaZulu-Natal is home to the most incredible animals, domestic and wild; these charities are protecting them all.

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (28 January 2025) – The lush KwaZulu-Natal region is home to an array of wildlife and domesticated animals. Animal welfare organisations make sure every animal is protected. Our comprehensive charity list grows and evolves every year as we add more good causes to the list. This is the 2025 list for the KwaZulu-Natal province.

Whether situated along the coastline or located inland, these organisations try to help as many animals as they can within their reach and means. These are the teams worth supporting this year to make sure animals come first in 2025.

Please note that this is a working list, so keep sending through your charities, and we will keep adding them!

These charities include all kinds of animal welfare organisations. We have simplified the search process for you by adding the following codes:
