So what are you waiting for? Let's make a difference today and start working towards a brighter future for stray animals.

My Story

Do you know that stray animals are mistreated and neglected in many countries of the world?

Many times, we are totally unaware of what happens to animals in other countries and how strays are treated in certain places. However, when we get at the truth, we can sadly notice that the list of Countries in which animal welfare does not even reach the minimum standard is extremely long, and unfortunately is worsening day by day.

National animal protection laws and regulations are frequently inadequate and in many cases basic animal rights do not even exist in these countries. Additionally, there is a huge lack of educational and awareness campaigns addressed to local communities that should instead be implemented to lower the widespread feelings of mistrust, fear, indifference and hostility towards stray animals.

The lack of laws, regulations and education make the lives of street dogs and cats a daily attempt to survive from abuses and mistreatments.

HWUM_Run4Paws is a team consisting of 10 caring and enthusiastic individuals from Heriot-Watt University Malaysia with the same sympathetic heart towards stray animals. We aspire to allow as many stray animals as possible to have a shelter and care that they deserve for being such cute souls. 

Our main objective for this fundraising activity is to provide funds for PAWS Animal Welfare Society, which is an animal shelter in operation since 1987. The funds would be vital for the non-profit organisation to vaccinate, deworm, neuter and shelter over 500 stray cats and dogs currently. Consequently, this would improve the physical & mental wellbeing of animals, while ensuring better population control of stray animals in the near future. 

In order to achieve our goal, we will be carrying out our project — "HWUM RUN 4 PAWS", which is a Charity Virtual Run. We pay attention on the community’s good health and well-being, so the community can exercise for a good cause. This virtual run also allows flexibility for participants as they can run at any location, anytime at their own pace. Every ringgit — from registration fees, event shirts and other merchandises — will be channeled to PAWS Animal Welfare Society. 

We call for every like-minded person who has the same desire for an improvement for stray animals to contribute to us. Together, we can make our world a better place for animals. Our group, and the stray animals thank you in advance.
