Veterinarian Nancy Mckay Rogge returns to Mbwa Wa Africa Animal Rescue
Hailing from Wisconsin in the USA, Nancy has returned to join the team in Tanzania for a second time. She brings all the key attributes we need to fulfil our mission of eliminating rabies: a wealth of knowledge, experience, passion, and veterinary supplies!
A lifelong dream, Nancy’s first visit to Tanzania was in January 2021. Supported by the Worldwide Veterinary Service, she spent a few weeks as a voluntary team member on one of our spay/neutering campaigns. We are thrilled Nancy is going to be with us for at least two years (or hopefully even longer!) as a primary vet. Nancy is keen to highlight that Mbwa Wa Africa Animal rescue is a well run organisation, and that her time there will be both productive and rewarding.
Whilst still a trainee vet, during her final year at veterinary school, Nancy spent six weeks in Kenya on an externship. Here she shadowed a veterinarian during his work day, learning a huge amount about diseases she’d only read about in text books, and about the resilience of animals and people in adverse conditions. A perfect grounding for her work with Mbwa Wa Africa Animal Rescue.
She’s an adventurer who loves to make a difference - welcome back Nancy!
