Get involved in our volunteer programme and put your skills and knowledge to great use treating animals in Morocco. You will have the opportunity to gain experience of conditions rarely seen in the UK, develop your clinical skills, and exchange knowledge and ideas with local SPANA vets.
SPANA operates a volunteer programme for qualified vets in Morocco. This is an enormously rewarding experience both for the veterinary volunteers and for SPANA’s local vets.
Visiting different areas of Morocco, you’ll make a difference to working equids and the lives of families who depend on them.
How your expertise can help working animals:
Most of the work carried out by our volunteers is focused on horses, donkeys and mules. You’re likely to be placed in Marrakech initially, with a team that’s used to speaking English and working alongside volunteers.
We encourage our volunteers to spend between two weeks and four months with us (accommodation is provided throughout your stay). We cannot accept more than two volunteers starting at one time, but if you want to stay for longer than a month we can arrange for you to move beyond Marrakech and join up with one of our other clinics in Morocco.
Places are offered on a first come, first served basis.

On your return we’ll ask you to produce a 300 to 500 word report on your visit, including case studies and photographs. This piece of work will be extremely useful, giving us material for publicity and fundraising purposes. It’s also important that you spread the word about SPANA, telling your colleagues and contacts about the programme and your experiences.
We have a practice talk pack you can use at client evenings and similar events to raise awareness of SPANA’s work.
