The Free State may be a farming province, but there are organisations working to support all kinds of animals in the province. Let’s meet them:
Free State, South Africa (27 January 2025) – The Free State is a beautiful but widely spread province in South Africa. The small communities take their animal welfare seriously, so this is how to help them manage. Our comprehensive charity list grows and evolves every year as we add more good causes to the list. This is the 2025 list for the Free State province.
While the list may be small, these organisations make big efforts to protect animals. They often have smaller budgets and fewer resources, but they have the biggest hearts!
These are the organisations making a difference in South Africa’s Free State.
Please note that this is a working list, so keep sending through your charities, and we will keep adding them!
These charities include all kinds of animal welfare organisations. We have simplified the search process for you by adding the following codes:
B – Birds, C – Cats, D – Dogs, F – Farm, H – Horses / Donkeys, W – Wildlife, and O – Other.
