Past Outreach projects
in Asia

India

With SPANA's help, the Newlife Foundation in Chennai initiated a project to grow vetch, providing a better diet for the working animals of poor farmers in the area. A touring vet also helps owners to understand their animals' needs whilst treating their ailments.

Mongolia

Mongolia's 1.25 million nomads and their animals recently suffered two savage winters in succession. We funded the purchase of a dozen horse-drawn grass-cutting machines for haymaking, to prevent more animals starving to death. We also paid for the refurbishment of wells, to ensure livestock have a regular supply of drinking water.

Nepal

The project in Nepal aimed to improve the lives of the many pack mules that work in the Himalayan foothills. We helped fund educational materials, enabling owners to monitor parasites and improve the harnessing, basic health and husbandry of their animals. Thanks to SPANA, conditions have improved greatly for these animals.

Sri Lanka

A one-year project SPANA funded in Negombo, Sri Lanka, was successful in reducing the suffering of street animals with neutering and more humane methods of euthanasia. There are now fewer animals with rabies and we have helped to stop the disease spreading. As a result, the area is safer and cleaner for its animal and human residents.

Taiwan

With funding from SPANA, the Caring for Stray Animal Society carried out a one-year project to decrease Taiwan's stray animal population. The 'capture, neuter, return' process began in Tainan County and while animals were in care, they also received basic medical care.
