Company description
“Griffe de Léman is a student-led charity based in Geneva, Switzerland. Its two founders are high school students who share a deep interest in animal welfare and its social impact. With backgrounds in veterinary science and business management, we strive to provide financial support to pet owners across Switzerland and are committed to making veterinary care more accessible to those in financial distress.
Funding will be raised through diversified sources of revenue, including individual memberships, school fundraisers, and donations, and will be directed toward covering treatment and food costs for selected families in need. As our organization grows, we aim to expand our services to include shelter support and educational outreach in schools and animal shelters, fostering a more compassionate and informed community regarding animal welfare.

The second sentence contains a repetition: animal welfare is just a synonym of veterinary care. Change it to: “As a member, you’re not only supporting the notion of animal welfare: you’re taking action to make it accessible to those in need.”
