About Us

Who We Are

Bam Animal Clinics is an animal welfare and health charity organization founded in August 2009. It was birthed out of love and concern for pets living in the hands of cruel "masters", those that had no homes and spent their entire lifetime on the streets, scratching through the garbage for a bone.

Before the organization's formation, the founder Dr. David Balondemu worked with the department of veterinary services in Iganga district. He recalls the number of cases presented regarding dogbites and how the victim dogs were treated — either killed or beaten severely. There was total chaos and something had to be done to improve the welfare of animals in the country.
