The Founder
“One can do much, and one, and one, and one can move mountains! -Joan Ward-Harris ”
Animal Rescue Foundation Sepanta is founded by animal activists after witnessing all the cruelty and suffering of the stray dogs in Iran. They were deeply moved by the plight of the stray animals living on the streets and began to support volunteers in Iran by providing means for medical treatment and food. Once back in the Netherlands, she decided to continue her work by establishing a non-profit foundation to support existing animal welfare organizations in Iran.
We truly believe that if you want to change anything, you have to take actions. Merely feeling sad and commiserate about the cause won’t stop the animal cruelty. Through this foundation we want to create awareness about the situation in Iran and make it possible for others to contribute. With this in mind, Animal Rescue Foundation Sepanta was established.
