The Medical Advances Without Animals Trust (MAWA) is an Australian organisation and a registered charity with its administrative base in Canberra. The Trust’s aim is to advance medical science to improve human health and treatment outcomes without using animals or animal products.

MAWA was established as an independent medical research and educational trust fund to facilitate the development and utilisation of non-animal based experimental methodologies to replace the use of animals in medical research.  It is expected that by funding non-animal research and training scientists in alternative methodologies the entrenched reliance on the use of animals will be decreased.

The Trust is unique in deliberately fostering dialogue with the scientific research community to discover common ground to achieve this goal. Learn more about the MAWA Trust, tell others and if you can, make a monthly donation to this very noble endeavour.
