- Organising the 2003 "All Africa Humane Education Summit", which achieved high-level political support for humane education from national government and organisations such as UNESCO, NEPAD (New Partnership for Africa's Development), the Institute for Educational Development etc. - as well as providing NGOs and educators from throughout Africa with workshops, training and materials on humane education.
- Educators and curriculum developers from 18 African countries attended the All-Africa Humane Education Summit (above) and HET's humane education materials are now in use in Swaziland and Mozambique (with whom HET now has close ties).
- As a direct spin-off from the All-Africa Summit, a first-ever Animals in Islam conference was held in Cairo earlier this year.
- Achieving official acceptance for humane education in the environmental programme of the revised national curriculum from 2004.
- Achieving a wider understanding of humane education and its importance (away from 'animal care' towards the building of real and lasting empathy and compassion for animals) in a wider societal context, across all communities in South Africa.
- Preparing and providing a full range of humane education materials, including workbooks, videos, books etc., backed up by teacher training and development support.
