Mbwa wa Africa (african dog) is a small shelter next to the Arusha national park, which was founded in 2012 by two Germans. The shelter houses and treats injured and abused street dogs and try to find responsible homes for them. They also house cats from time to time.
It’s the only shelter like this in Arusha. The dog population is really high in Arusha, that’s why the shelter is constantly overcrowded.
For this reason mbwa wa africa is planing a bigger shelter in the future, which provides more space for more dogs. Mbwa wa Africa is also planing and takes through systematic castration and vaccination campaigns to stop the governments practice to shoot street dogs.
They always need helping hands and if you love to work with dogs your here absolutely at the right address!
Journée Typique
A normal day at the shelter starts at 9 o’clock. One way takes about one hour so you should leave your hostel at round about 8 o’clock to use the public transport and a motorbike taxi to arrive the shelter. The transport will cost you 9.200 TSH per day.
At the shelter you have many different tasks, every day is different. Usually you start your day with taking the dogs for a walk, they try to walk every dog twice a day, which is not always possible because of the amount of dogs they have. After you take care of the injured dogs, give medicine and nurse them or train the dogs and their behavior to socialize them so they’re have a better opportunity to get adopted, doing physio for example in the pool with disabled dogs, washing the dogs and puppies, feed the puppies, help to vaccinate, build new beds/games for the dogs or repair the wheelchairs. Your working hours are variable. You are always welcome.
There are also helping hands needed for the systematic castration and vaccination campaigns.
Activités de Loisir
The project is based in Arusha, Tanzania. There are several free time activities volunteers can engage in. We organize Safaris, mountain climbs and shorter tours like hiking, horse riding, visit to a nearby massai village, trip to the hotsprings and waterfalls, coffee tours, etc. to the nearer surroundings at affordable rates. We always make sure, that all guides and staffs are being paid fair wages. At the same time there are lots of things you can do during your free time or at the weekends in Arusha itself. There are different markets like second hand market, spice markets or massai market, as well as typical african restaurants and bars. Furthermore, the area you will live is very beautiful and you can either go to a lake and do canoeing or you can go to a lodge with a pool near to the hostel to relax for little money. Our other volunteers from the hostel will be happy to show you everything and if you join them at your free weekends!

The STEP Africa Program Fees are calculated as follows:
− A one time application fee which includes 2 way airport transfers, pre-departure support, preparation handbooks, orientation day and project support
− Program fees to stay at the STEP Africa House (including breakfast and dinner from monday to friday), on-the-ground support and supervision by the STEP Africa Team (our office is in Tanzania!) and 24h emergency contact.
Important Note: To keep it transparent we do not add any donation to our program fees (which are entirely used for your preparation, supervision and accommodation) but encourage you to raise some funds among your family and friends prior to your arrival or once you have arrived in Tanzania. Any small or big amount is highly appreciated and you are entirely free to decide on how you want to utilize your donation within the project. By doing so you will see how much of a difference donations can make and its a great feeling to see this first hand. We understand volunteering as a holistic approach of helping each other and learning from one another and while you will do amazing daily work as a volunteer we want you to also understand that no project can entirely survive if it wasn't for financial support as well.

breakfast includes tea, white bread, butter, jam, peanutbutter and an african
