total goal
Challenge
There are thousands of homeless dogs living on the streets of mwanza, many of them sick, injured, or starving. Mwanza stray dog Animal Rescue works to implement a humane prevention program called ABC (animal birth control, sterilization and vaccination) along with animal rescue and adoption programs. The lack of government support for this issue, the amount of dogs, and rabies killing humans (approx 20k per year) creates the human/street dog conflict that exists today.
solution
Mwanza stray dog and Animal Rescue's mission is to end the human/street dog conflict by creating a humane and sustainable environment for animals with direct benefits to the people of Mwanza, Tanzania. We provide several key programs to achieve our goals: spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, rescue and adoption, and community education for rabies safety and compassion. Mwanza stray dog and Animal Rescue has been running since 2018. Since that time, we have helped more than 2750 animals.
Long-Term Impact
Our vision: We strive to create a community where the people realize that the stray animal population can be managed with compassion and education. With mass sterilization and rabies vaccination programs we can create a healthy sustainable population of dogs. Through education and community interaction, we can teach people how to be kind to street dogs even they are afraid of them, eradicate rabies, and increase adoptions.
Help 10 rescues a month with a Recurring Donation
Summary
Help us monthly to pay for fuel for our van, x-rays and blood work, emergency surgeries, splints, administering daily treatments, providing nutrition and give lots of love to the dogs we rescue from the streets. We receive numerous calls to rescue dogs that have been hit by cars, are suffering from mange, horrible wounds, tick fever, or have been abused. Monthly donations of up to $2000 or $24000 individual donations will cover the basic needs for us to continue to help!
Challenge
Tanzania has the highest numbers of stray dogs in the world at an approximated 35 million. Tanzania also has the highest amount of human deaths by rabies. 95% of the time this is the result of a dog bite. Rabies is 100% preventable. This leads to human/street dog conflict resulting in lack of care or concern for the dogs living on the street. Each month we receive calls to help sick, injured, and abused dogs. By donating, you are giving these animals a good shot of survival.
Solution
Recurring donations help us run. There is no other way to put it. The only way we can plan for the future is if we know we have funds coming in every month to buy medicine, pay for fuel, purchase food, pay salaries to our local vets and vet assistants. By having the security of monthly donations, we never have to say no to a rescue call in mwanza.
Long-Term Impact
The only way to solve the longterm problem of human/street dog conflict which causes many dogs in need of rescue is to continue our spay/neuter program and our education program in schools. Currently, due to Covid 19, our sterilization program is not running at full functionality and our school program is on hold. For now, and for many years to come, street dogs in need of rescue will be an issue, but by contributing monthly, having what is needed to help, will not be.
