Today we have ten veterinary clinics based in Casablanca, Chemaia, Had Ouled Frei, Khemisset, Khenifra, Marrakech, Midelt, Rabat, Tangier and Sidi Bou Ghaba. At these clinics we treat and care for tens of thousands of working animals, click here for the SPANA Morocco website
SPANA also operates nine mobile clinics which reach working animals in remote communities from the edges of the Sahara to the heights of the Atlas mountains.
In addition, we have several other special projects. For example, in Marrakech, we run a free health check up scheme for the city’s 300 Caleche horses. We have also built nine water troughs on main routes so the horses have easy access to water as they pull tourist carriages around the city. This simple idea has made a huge difference to the welfare of these beautiful and iconic horses.
SPANA runs an extensive education programme in Morocco. Where there is a classroom there is often a garden with a pond. In the classroom vets teach the children about animal welfare and the environment. SPANA taught more than 20,000 children this way in 2010.
