Our work
SPANA is the charity for the working animals of the world. Animals are essential to millions of families in the developing world, yet often these hard-working animals lack access to basic care. We improve the lives of working animals in three ways: free veterinary care, education & training and emergency response.
Free veterinary care
The harsh reality is many sick, injured and mistreated working animals never receive veterinary care. That’s why SPANA funds a vital network of veterinary centres and mobile clinics that provide free veterinary care to working animals.

SPANA has responded to save donkeys, horses and livestock caught up in natural disasters and conflicts all over the world. Our emergency teams are ready to get life-saving help to animals wherever and whenever disaster strikes.

We train today’s owners to improve treatment and behaviour towards working animals. We’re also hoping to improve the lives of working animals in the long term by educating the next generation of animal owners.

Our work takes us to the world’s poorest communities, where people would struggle to provide for their families without their animals. At present we have permanent clinics in eight countries as well as outreach and emergency programmes across the world.
