Helping the worlds working animals.

Spana was founded by Kate and Nina Hosali (mother and daughter).

In 1923 they travelled to North Africa. As they travelled through the countryside they noticed awful sights of donkeys, mules and camels – they were malnourished (lack of food), weak and buckling (legs giving way) under the weight of heavy loads; they had wounds inflicted by poorly fitting harnesses.

They felt so sad, that from 1924 to 1926 they travelled from village to village, country to country looking for animals that needed help.

The animals were used to transport very important food and water into villages, they would take goods to market and carry people to work and schools and hospitals, even when these animals were poorly and hurt and sad they still had to carry on with their heavy jobs.

Spana still helps working animals to this day, so for the past 95 years they have provided vet care when animals suffer, they train vets and show people how to take care of the animals, they teach children how to respect and show compassion towards the animals and they help in emergencies and crisis.

It takes love and commitment towards animals from these wonderful people to do a job that is needed, I think they deserve a 10/10 for a job very well done.
