In its holistic approach to corporate social responsibility, Empower Tomorrow incorporates a robust animal welfare program aimed at safeguarding the well-being of both domestic animals and livestock across Zimbabwe.

At the heart of Empower Tomorrow’s animal welfare efforts is its partnership with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). The company supports the SPCA through the Blue Cross Adventure Challenge, a charitable event designed to raise awareness about animal rights and mobilize funds for shelters and veterinary services. These funds are vital to maintaining shelters, providing medical care, and rescuing animals from abuse and neglect. SPCA’s work spans both rural and urban areas, ensuring that animals in all parts of Zimbabwe receive the attention and protection they deserve.
Innscor also collaborates with Veterinarians for Animal Welfare Zimbabwe (VAWZ), extending veterinary care to rural communities where livestock is a critical economic asset. By working closely with VAWZ, Empower Tomorrow ensures that animals receive vaccinations, sterilization, and healthcare services. This not only enhances animal health but also directly benefits rural farmers, as healthier livestock translates to higher productivity and improved food security.
For subsistence farmers, whose livelihoods depend on their animals, this support is invaluable.Moreover, the initiative promotes educational programs in rural areas to raise awareness about proper animal care. These programs help communities understand the benefits of the humane treatment of animals, both from a moral and economic perspective. By investing in animal welfare, Empower Tomorrow is strengthening the agricultural value chain, improving the livelihoods of rural populations, and fostering a culture of compassion toward animals throughout Zimbabwe.
