Past emergency projects
in Africa
Morocco
In February 2004, an earthquake devastated the rural area of Al Hoceima. Large numbers of cattle and sheep were killed and many houses were severely damaged or completely destroyed. SPANA were one of the first organisations on the scene. We sent two veterinary teams to treat injured and distressed animals in the disaster zone. We were also able to organise regular feeding and watering for other animals.
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is still a country in chaos. The eviction of white farmers resulted in thousands of farm animals being left abandoned. The National Thoroughbred Trust, in South Africa, asked for SPANA's help and the supplies of food and medicine we were able to send prevented thousands of animals in Zimbabwe from starving to death.
