About us
Some people think of SPANA as an animal charity that helps people. Others think we are a people charity that helps animals.
We’re happy to have it both ways. Without SPANA, people would be worse off and animals would be in pain and misery. Because of what we do, there are more happy, healthy animals, working hard and earning an income for their owners. This in turn puts food on the table and can pay for their children to go to school.
More about us:
SPANA is a UK charity saving animals in the poorest countries in the world. But we are not an ordinary animal charity - we know that working animals ensure that families can make a living.
SPANA was founded in 1923 by Kate Hosali and her daughter Nina, after they witnessed the mistreatment of animals on their travels through North Africa. Read more about their incredible drive to help working animals.
