Guide 1

Visit donate, choose one-off or monthly, select GBP USD or EUR at Stripe checkout, and receive an email receipt. Direct gifts to species appeals at appeals or give generally for WARN to allocate across the 17-country partner network.

Guide 2

Why International Giving Needs Honest Registration Answers

WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. US donors should note WARN is not a 501(c)(3). International giving works best when donors understand exactly what their gift funds — partner grants, not WARN-run sanctuaries.

Guide 3

Partner Grants Versus International Facility Building

WARN channels donations to established in-country partners rather than building parallel WARN-branded infrastructure. This reaches frontline need faster and respects local expertise, community trust and accountable spend reporting.

Guide 4

Choosing International Programme Focus

Street dogs at Karachi street dogs appeal. Wildlife at pangolin appeal, tiger appeal, gorilla appeal. Working equines at working donkeys appeal. Country pages at Pakistan, Indonesia and Kenya provide context.

Guide 5

Monthly International Charity Donations

Sustained programmes — CNVR over multiple years, orangutan forest school, mobile donkey clinics — need predictable income. Monthly at monthly giving or symbolic adoption from £5/month builds that base.

Guide 6

UK Versus US International Donor Paths

UK donors: donate animal charity abroad. US donors: donate to animal rescue us. Same partner grants — locale-specific tax honesty and currency defaults.

Guide 7

Evaluating International Animal Charities

Check registration transparency, programme funding proportion, honest scope about tax status, and whether the model matches problem scale. WARN publishes details at registration status and where your money goes.

Guide 8

Cross-Border Payment and Receipts

Stripe checkout accepts GBP, USD and EUR. Bank transfer available by email arrangement. Every international gift receives an email receipt for your records — not tax-deductible through WARN in the UK or US.

Wildlife guide

Orangutan

Orangutans are Critically Endangered great apes found only in Borneo and Sumatra; all three species — Bornean, Sumatran, and Tapanuli — face extinction driven mainly by habitat loss from palm oil and logging, plus the illegal pet trade.

Wildlife guide

Pangolin

Pangolins are the world's most heavily trafficked wild mammals; all eight species are threatened by illegal trade in their keratin scales, used in traditional medicine across Asia, with the Chinese and Sunda pangolins now Critically Endangered.

Wildlife guide

Street Dog

An estimated 200 million street dogs live worldwide; they are the same species as pet dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), and WHO-endorsed Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return programmes are the proven humane way to reduce their numbers and control rabies, whereas culling does not work.

Country programme

Indonesia

Indonesia is a Southeast Asian archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, home to Bornean and Sumatran orangutans, Sumatran tigers, Javan and Sumatran rhinos, the Komodo dragon and the sun bear; its wildlife is under sustained pressure from palm-oil and pulpwood deforestation, the illegal pet trade, and one of the world's largest contributions to marine plastic.

Country programme

Malaysia

Malaysia is a Southeast Asian range state for Bornean orangutans (Sabah), sun bears, Sunda pangolins, clouded leopards and the Malayan tiger; it is a top-tier transit country for trafficked wildlife, with Kuala Lumpur's airports and the Port Klang container hub repeatedly identified by UNODC as wildlife-crime chokepoints.

Country programme

Pakistan

Pakistan is a South Asian country where WARN's planned work focuses on humane street-dog management in Karachi and Lahore through catch-neuter-vaccinate-release clinics, mobile working-equine clinics in industrial districts, and supporting partner work on the snow leopard in the country's high north.

Country programme

Kenya

Kenya is an East African country where WARN's planned work focuses on snare-removal patrols and rapid-response veterinary darting in the Tsavo and Maasai Mara ecosystems, sea-turtle triage on the Indian Ocean coast, and supporting partner work on lion, elephant, rhino, cheetah and African wild dog welfare.

Country programme

Brazil

Brazil is the most biodiverse country on earth, home to jaguars, giant otters, pink river dolphins, golden lion tamarins and scarlet macaws across the Amazon, Pantanal and Atlantic Forest; deforestation, fire, mining and the illegal wildlife and pet trade are the dominant threats.
