Dean Schneider, Swiss animal sanctuary founder

Dean Schneider is a 27-year old Swiss guy, who dedicated his entire life to the animal world! Nowadays, I live in Africa, he has built a global voice for our planet’s wildlife over the past two years!

Dean Schneider was born in Switzerland (Zurich) on October 3, 1992, he was blessed to grow up in a loving family with his sister (one year older) and his parents, who were always very supportive and loving. His mother is originally from the Balkan region (Southeastern Europe), while his dad is a Swiss citizen.

Even though I was so passionate about animals, I originally followed a very ordinary path to adulthood, eventually ending up in the finance industry as a financial advisor. After a very successful year, he decided to found his own company, which then, over the next three years, allowed him to generate the financial foundation to launch the Hakuna Mipaka project at the age of 23-24.
