SPANA recognises that working animals play a critical role in the survival of many developing communities. A working animal is often the only means some people have of earning money for their family.
Our mission is to improve the welfare of working animals. It would be very cruel not to treat an injured or ill animal and animal welfare would suffer as a result. In addition to providing free veterinary treatment and care to working animals in need, we also work to bring about long-term improvements in animal welfare by training owners how best to care for their animals, and by teaching children about the need to care for animals.
