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.
