About us
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 are vital to the livelihoods, and sometimes the lives, of many poor families across the developing world.
The SPANA story
SPANA was founded in 1923 by Kate Hosali and her daughter Nina, after they witnessed the suffering of animals on their travels through North Africa.
