The SPCA recently hosted its annual fundraiser ‘Animals by Night’, a fun evening bringing animal lovers, sponsors, and talented Namibian artists together in aid of the animals at the SPCA. At the occasion Hanna Rhodin, Director of the SPCA in Windhoek thanked FNB Namibia for their generous donation of N$ 100 000 to the SPCA Windhoek’s Dixie’s Fund.

She explained that Dixie’s Fund was specifically dedicated to the ordinary and extraordinary medical and veterinary treatments and interventions that the animals at the SPCA so desperately need. “In the last year alone, the SPCA sterilised over 500 animals, administered over 2 200 vaccines, and performed 110 other procedures including x-rays, pinning of broken legs, amputations, and dental work. The SPCA is incredibly appreciative of FNB’s continued and impactful support. Thanks to FNB, the SPCA can do more for the many animals that come through its shelter doors and be sure to make a difference in their lives.”

Revonia Kahivere, FirstRand Namibia CSI Manager, in turn expressed her appreciation towards work done by the SPCA. “We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and know that the funds will be used wisely to look after our loving companions.” Kahivere added that the companionship of animals and the positive influence they have on people has become even more obvious since the outbreak of the pandemic as Covid-19 enforced isolation and segregation from ‘normal’ life as well as long stretches working from home when the pandemic was at its peak.
