In this episode of Dr Carra’s Paws and Effect podcast, Dr Carra gets up close with a super special NPO. It’s all about an amazing program called Funda Nenja, which, by the way, means ‘learning with the dog’ in isiZulu. It’s not your everyday pet project; it’s changing lives, both human and canine, in heartwarming ways down in South Africa.

I’ve had an uplifting chat with Lisa Button, one of the heart and soul behind Funda Nenja. We chatted about how they’re teaching kids to treat dogs like the awesome beings they are, not just pets. Let’s just say, it’s about kindness, respect, and a whole new way of seeing our furry pals.

Lisa got into the details—like, how they manage to teach all these amazing things; the way donations make everything possible, and why kids are the best hope for a kinder future with animals. Spoiler alert: It’s super inspiring!

Want to help out? Check out Funda Nenja. Every little bit helps, and honestly, it’s a cause that’ll warm your heart every time it crosses your mind.
