SPANA in Tunisia

• Three veterinary centres • Three mobile clinics • 23,000 animals treated each year • Interactive education bus

Tunisia

SPANA has been working in Tunisia since 1925 and our three veterinary centres and three mobile clinics treat around 23,000 working animals each year

Almost all the working animals we treat, including many camels are in rural areas, well away from tourist towns. The infrastructure is poor and animals are often the only means of transport.

SPANA’s ‘hands-on’ exhibition has been installed in a specially adapted bus which tours the country. The interactive exhibition focuses on animals and their place in the local environment. In 2010 our bus was able to visit more than 13,000 school children.

Tunisia’s “Magic Bus”

SPANA’s education bus regularly tours the country visiting places like Jendouba, Bou Salem, Oued Mliz and Gardimaou. The message it spreads across the country is simple: “Animals deserve to be treated with care and compassion.”
