Project Overview
Help support Vrouva Farm! My name is Marianne and in addition to my work as a wedding photographer, I am dedicated to my passion project: supporting Vrouva Farm on the Greek island of Aegina. This farm is a sanctuary for over a hundred animals that have been rescued from dire circumstances - from abandoned street dogs to animals that have escaped from cruel conditions.

Stage 1:
3.000 CHF
100% funded
Dog food, cat food and medication for all animals - these are the things that are always most urgently needed at Vrouva Farm. The farm is characterised by the fact that each animal receives exactly the care and support it needs.
The animals are fed high-quality food, receive comprehensive medical care, are vaccinated and neutered. Thanks to your support, the people who work for the animals from dawn to dusk all year round can take a deep breath and relax for a moment from the daily challenges. This work requires an enormous amount of energy and commitment - help us to take some of the burden off the shoulders of Vrouva Farm so that the animals can continue to be cared for so well. -
Stage 2:
5.000 CHF
100% funded
Here we plan to install a solar system to generate much-needed green electricity for the farm, as the farm is high up on the hill and has no access to electricity. The solar panels and associated wiring in each accommodation - whether for the dogs or the people who work here - will provide light. Especially in winter, when it gets dark early, this is invaluable as it allows the carers to look after the animals safely in the late hours and make the most of the day.
The solar system will also allow us to start up important equipment. A fridge in which we can safely store medicines and perishable food, as well as an on-site washing machine to facilitate the daily washing of blankets and care utensils. Hygiene in particular is crucial to providing the animals with a healthy environment and improving their quality of life on the farm.
Thanks to the self-generated electricity, we can also reduce costs and invest the money saved directly in the care of the animals. The solar system is therefore an important step towards strengthening Vrouva Farm in the long term. -
Stage 3:
8.000 CHF
100% funded
A stable, more reliable water supply is urgently needed, especially given the extremely hot summers. Water is absolutely essential for Vrouva Farm:
With a stable water supply, we can keep the animals cool on the hottest days, keep their enclosures moist, and prevent heat-related deaths. In addition, we need water for daily care and hygiene—for drinking, cleaning the stalls and shelters, and also for the people who dedicate themselves to the animals’ well-being every day. A robust water supply means safety and protection, allowing the farm to continue its work even in the hottest months of the year without ever compromising the animals’ welfare.
Please help us ensure we can get through the summer safely. -
Stage 4:
10.000 CHF

A new feed house will be completed to accommodate the storage of sufficient feed and hay for the animals. With the large number of animals on Vrouva Farm, a significant amount of food is required.
Not only will this feeder provide the animals with a constant supply of food, but it will also ensure that the food stays fresh and is not damaged by the elements. A well-protected supply of hay and feed is important for animal well-being, especially in the colder months when food intake increases and when the animals are happy, so are we. Please help us get through the winter.
By building the feed house, we can optimize the care of the animals and at the same time make work processes on the farm easier. The distances become shorter and so it saves time for many other important things to do. -
Stage 5:
13.000 CHF

Volunteer support is crucial as they play a vital role in the care and maintenance of the animals. Without them, it would be almost impossible to cope with the demands of caring for so many animals.
It is important that our volunteers, who often come from far away, have good accommodation so that they can recover after a long day of work. We would love to welcome more volunteers and offer them an experience with the animals here. -

And of course, let's go back to point 1: We need more food & donations to cover vet costs and castrations :D
Thank you for your donation!
Here you donate to a project in Greece. There is the Vrouva farm and it is home to over a hundred animals that were abandoned on the streets or came from torture farms or fattening farms.
Not only dogs & cats but also horses, donkeys, pigs, cats, chickens, goats and sheep now live in a better place.
Alexia Papagianni, manager of the farm and her team work for the animals from early in the morning until very late at night and give everything in their hearts, energy and finances to ensure that the project runs. Only as many animals are housed as it is feasible to care for all of them. Volunteers and volunteers from Europe help. Funding for such social projects is rare in this area and all donations are used for the animals and ongoing operations. The infrastructure usually falls by the wayside. Financial support is needed because no matter how beautiful everything looks, it is and remains a challenge every day.

Beautifully situated on the hills of the island but still far away is urgently needed:
1. a solar system
2. a hay barn
3. a house for tools
4. accommodation for volunteers
5. more stable water supply (40 degrees in summer and risk of forest fires)
6. dog food, cat food and medicine for all animals
1. A solar system
Here we plan to install a solar system to generate much-needed green electricity for the farm, as the farm is located high on the hill and has no access to electricity. The solar panels and associated cables in every accommodation - whether for the dogs or the people who work here - provide light. This is invaluable, especially in winter, when it gets dark early, because it allows the carers to safely care for the animals even in the late hours and make the most of the day.
The solar system will put important equipment into operation. A refrigerator where we can safely store medication and perishable food, as well as an on-site washing machine that makes daily washing of blankets and nursing supplies easier. Hygiene in particular is crucial to providing the animals with a healthy environment and improving their quality of life on the farm.
2. A hay barn
Secure storage space for hay and feed
Protects against weather influences (rain, snow)
Maintains the freshness and quality of the feed
Makes feeding the animals easier
Optimizes storage and organization
A new feed house will be built to accommodate storage of sufficient feed and hay for the animals. With the large number of animals at Vrouva Farm, a significant amount of food is required and needs to be protected.
Not only will this feeder provide the animals with a constant supply of food, but it will also ensure that the food stays fresh and is not damaged by the elements. A well-protected supply of hay and feed is important for the well-being of the animals, especially in the cold months when food intake increases and when the animals are happy, so are we.

4. Accommodation options for volunteers
The support of volunteers is crucial in caring for the animals. Without them, it would be nearly impossible to manage the demands of caring for so many animals.
It is important that our volunteers, who often come from far away, have good accommodation so that they can relax after a long day at work. We would also be happy to welcome more volunteers and offer them an experience with the animals here.
5. More stable water supply
Water supply in extreme heat (40 degrees in summer)
Protecting animals from heat stroke and dehydration
Preventing forest fires through targeted irrigation
Improving hygiene on the farm
Supporting the daily care of animals and people
A stable, more reliable water supply is urgent, especially given the extremely hot summers. Water is absolutely vital for Vrouva Farm:
With a stable water supply, we can cool the animals on the hottest days, keep their enclosures moist and thus avoid heat deaths. We also need the water for daily care and hygiene - for watering, for cleaning the stables and accommodation and also for the people who look after the animals' well-being every day. A robust water supply means safety and security so that the farm can continue to operate even in the hottest months of the year and the welfare of the animals is never at risk.
Please help us so that we can get through the summer well.
6. Dog food, cat food and medicine for all animals
High-quality foods for a balanced diet
Medical care for sick or injured animals
Regular vaccinations to prevent disease
Dog food, cat food and medicine for all animals - these are the things that are always needed most at Vrouva Farm. The farm is characterized by the fact that each animal receives exactly the care and support it needs.
The animals receive high-quality food, receive comprehensive medical care, are vaccinated and castrated. Thanks to your support, the people who work for the animals all year round from morning to night can take a deep breath and recover for a moment from the daily challenges. This work requires an enormous amount of strength and commitment - help us so that some of the burden can be taken off the Vrouva Farm's shoulders and the animals can continue to be looked after so well.

Help support Vrouva Farm!
My name is Marianne, and in addition to my work as a wedding photographer, I am dedicated to my heart's project: supporting Vrouva Farm on the Greek island of Aegina. This farm is a refuge for over a hundred animals that have been rescued from poor conditions - from abandoned street dogs to animals that have escaped from cruel conditions.
At Vrouva Farm, dogs, horses, donkeys, pigs, cats, chickens, goats and sheep not only find a safe home, but also the attention and care that they so desperately need.
This farm offers a safe home to animals in need. Many of them are unwanted or have been exploited. Here they find the love and care they deserve.
But in order to maintain this special place and continue to improve the animals' living conditions, we depend on a lot of support.
With your support, we can strengthen Vrouva Farm and continue to create a place where compassion for animals comes first. Every donation helps to support this important project and give the animals a better life.
The people who work on the farm do their best day and night to preserve this place and give the animals a better future.
I have captured the moments of the farm to give you an insight in the heart of these place
I warmly invite you to support this project. Every donation helps to continue this valuable work and to preserve a place where compassion and commitment to animals come first.
Thank you for becoming part of this mission!
