‘The Gongo Centre’ will open its doors in 2022 as the Arusha region’s first animal welfare & veterinary centre of excellence, providing us with the permanent base we need to save more human and animal lives, faster.
We need your help to make ‘The Gongo Centre’ a reality.
The first veterinary and education centre of its kind in the Arusha region of Tanzania, ‘The Gongo Centre’ will provide clean, purpose-built veterinary facilities and surgery rooms, where we will:
Re-locate & expand the vital work undertaken by Mbwa Wa Africa Animal Rescue
Vaccinate 20,000 animals per year
Spay & neuter 4,000 animals per year
Educate 1,000 local children per year in the safe and humane treatment of animals
Train 24 local vets per year in vital small-animal surgery skills that will enable them to keep local dog populations in check
Accommodate two international volunteer vets on-site, all year round
Work to build ‘The Gongo Centre’ has already begun, but we still need your help to complete it. We are working to raise £300,000 to build (£180,000) and equip (£120,000) the Centre.
