We work out of a dedicated centre in Bamako, Mali’s capital city. Here we provide free veterinary care for thousands of working animals every year.
We have mobile clinics that travel to isolated communities that depend on SPANA for their animals' wellbeing, our para-vets travel to places such as Timbuktu and further out into remote locations.
Last year our Country Director trained 113 teachers to give animal welfare lessons, using books and other informative materials produced by SPANA. Children were so desperate to take part in the lessons that they many of them shared books. Over 7,500 children took part in the lessons.
