October 25, 2025: a milestone in our journey to wipe out rabies and end animal suffering in Tanzania, as the Gongo Centre opened its doors as the first Veterinary Centre of Excellence ever to exist in Tanzania’s Meru District.

Gongo was left fighting for his life once again following the horrifying incident.

Unique challenges, satisfying impact,remote surgeries and rewards in helping animals and community.

Long days, high-risk rabies areas, and challenging surgeries. Making a difference for animals and people.

Thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters, we are delighted to announce that we have just signed the purchase deeds for a new property in the Arusha Region of Tanzania!

Volunteer veterinary nurse Emily arrived at our base in Arusha in January this year, where she’ll be spending six weeks in the Tanzanian sunshine supporting the team at Mbwa Wa Africa Animal Rescue.

Our team seized a window of opportunity to continue the fight to control rabies on Mafia Island, off the coast of mainland Tanzania.

“Naftal is an important member of the team , thanks to his relaxed approach combined with his experience. We’re lucky to have him with us.” Discover Naftal’s work at our temporary clinic in Tanzania.

By teaching school children about rabies, our local Education Officers can equip them with knowledge and insights that may one day save their lives.
