Mbwa Wa Africa works closely with the World Wide Veterinary Service and Mission Rabies, and participates in occasional vaccination and spaying and neutering campaigns. During these campaigns extra help is appreciated.

No previous experience necessary

Volunteers do not need any prior experience. But a basic knowledge of English is necessary, as well as a love of animals. Also, you should not be afraid of dogs, or getting a little dirty. All volunteers need to be vaccinated against rabies.

Location

This project is located 34km (21miles) from the hostel, on the edge of the Arusha National Park and can be reached by public transport.

Please note

The project requires a donation of US$100 for up to four weeks and US$25 for each additional week. This donation is not included in the program fee, and is paid direct to the shelter. It is used to support expenses such as dog food, veterinary bills and staff wages.

The donation is not included in the registration or program fee and needs to be paid directly in cash to the project on your first day.
