In acknowledging the SPCA’s work, FNB Namibia expressed appreciation for the organisation’s role in promoting care and responsibility towards animals. The bank also encouraged broader community support for animal welfare initiatives, emphasising the collective responsibility involved in safeguarding the wellbeing of animals.

The FirstRand Namibia Foundation regularly supports initiatives aligned with social development and community upliftment. Through this donation, the Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to supporting causes that address real needs and contribute to long-term positive outcomes.

The SPCA continues to depend on partnerships and donations to sustain its operations and advance animal welfare efforts nationwide.
