We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition, as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.
Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism, but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding.
