Jean is awarded an MBE!

Jean Gillchrist has been with the KSPCA for over 20 years & has gained a reputation throughout Kenya as simply 'the woman who loves animals'! This reputation is well earned as many of us have found out. A simple trip down the road with Jean usually results in whiplash from violent breaking of the vehicle followed by jaw dropping admiration as she leaps from the car to deal with whatever animal/situation has caught her eye.

We are delighted that this year, the Queen of England awarded her an MBE (Member of the British Empire) in recognition of all her work towards building the KSPCA up from a tiny operation of 3 people to the great success it is today. She is tireless and dedicated towards working with the people of Kenya, educating, leading and encouraging them to treat animals with the respect deserved of any workforce a well as running the rescue & homing operations of this ever growing organization.

Struggle though we will, we will ensure that Jean leave’s her beloved KSPCA and goes to England to be awarded it!
