Dharma Voices for Animals — Sri Lanka Animal Welfare Legislation (2022)

[Farm Animal Welfare] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $101,000 over two years to Dharma Voices for Animals (DVA) to support their work advocating for farm animal welfare legislation in Sri Lanka. DVA helped secure commitments of support from a majority of members of Parliament for a national animal welfare law; this funding will support their work on passing this law, as well as lobbying for future legislation. This follows our July 2020 support and falls within our focus area of farm animal welfare, specifically within our interest in farm animal welfare in Asia.
