“I originally agreed to come for 3 months; however I’m currently entering my 5th month with no plans to leave any time soon! The work Mbwa Wa Africa continue to do has been invaluable to the community and I love being part of it. Due to the prevalence of rabies here, many people are still scared of dogs and so throw stones, beat, and even kill dogs in the most barbaric of ways.  The team here really are making a difference; less rabies cases reported in the area and controlling the street dog population through promoting neutering and campaigns.”

“I’m 22 years old and I study veterinary medicine at a university in Leipzig, Germany. In 2017, before I started studying, I worked as a volunteer at Mbwa wa Africa for 3 months. During my time there I’ve learned so much about animal-care and medical treatment, but especially the people I got to know there made these months the best time of my life. Teamwork and trust in your co-workers contribute a huge part to successful animal welfare programmes like Mbwa wa Africa.”

“From day one I was blown away with the work that is being done at this shelter. Such warm-hearted people who give all their heart and soul for the well-being of the dogs and cats and who give everything beyond their capacities so that as many animals as possible are doing well. Especially the fact that everything is given so that animals do not get into precarious situations in the first place (e.g. vaccination and castration campaigns, educational work in schools, ...), makes this organization something very special. I would come back anytime and support this animal shelter in any way!”
