We need your help to open our centre for vulnerable working animals in Zimbabwe
Working animals in Tsholotsho, Zimbabwe, are suffering. The worst drought in decades has left the land barren, and these animals, vital to the survival of their communities, are malnourished, exhausted and often face untreated injuries. Without access to basic veterinary treatment, their conditions worsen each day.
You have the power to change this.
Each month, SPANA’s mobile clinic travels 400 miles from Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare, to provide essential veterinary care to Tsholotsho’s working animals. However, this is not enough to meet the needs of one of the largest populations of working animals in the country. That’s why SPANA is planning to open a permanent animal health and welfare centre in the region.
With you help we can offer continuous, round-the-clock care—providing medical attention, shelter and recovery time for animals who need treatment. Together, our mobile clinics and this new centre will ensure no animal in Tsholotsho is left without the care they desperately need.
Your donation could help provide the medicines, food, and medical supplies needed to help these animals recover. For example:
- $40 could supply a week’s worth of feed for a malnourished animal.
- $89 could stock the new centre with essential medical equipment and medicines.
- $158 could provide stabling and care for an animal in need of a safe place to recover.
Will you help us provide these animals with the chance they deserve for a healthier life? Please donate now and be part of opening this vital centre for Zimbabwe’s working animals.
Together, we can make sure that no animal in Tsholotsho has to suffer. Thank you so much.
How SPANA helped Movha
When Movha arrived at SPANA’s mobile clinic, he was in desperate need of care.
Weak from malnutrition and struggling with severe mange and internal parasites, his future looked uncertain.
SPANA’s vets acted quickly, treating Movha with an injection to eliminate the parasites and a medicated spray to soothe his irritated skin. He also received a multivitamin boost to help rebuild his strength.
Alongside treatment, Movha’s owner, David, was given essential guidance on how to support his recovery.
Thanks to this vital intervention, Movha was given a second chance.
But thousands of animals like him in Tsholotsho still have no access to the care they urgently need. The new SPANA animal health and welfare centre will be a lifeline for these suffering animals, providing lifesaving treatment and ongoing support.
By helping us establish a permanent animal health and welfare centre, you can ensure working animals receive lifesaving treatment when they need it most.
With a dedicated vet and regular access to care, suffering animals won’t have to wait until it’s almost too late. Instead, they’ll get the treatment they need to stay strong, healthy, and free from pain.
Will you help make this possible?
