The Marchig Animal Welfare Trust was established in 1989 by Madame
Jeanne Marchig of Geneva, because of her deep concern for nature and animals
and in memory of her late husband, the painter Giannino Marchig.
The objects of the Trust are to protect animals and to promote and encourage practical work in preventing animal cruelty and the relief of animal suffering.
These objects are pursued by the Trust in two ways, Grants and Awards.
