Rifaqa is a free Iraqi app that connects those who see an injured or stray animal with those who can help: field volunteers and veterinarians near the animal's location.
One report from your phone could save a life.
🐾 How does it work?
1. Take a picture of the animal and pinpoint its location on the map.
2. Select the animal's type and condition (injured, sick, trapped, lost, hungry).
3. The report will be sent immediately to the nearest volunteers and veterinarians.
4. Follow the rescue process step by step until the animal reaches safety.
