Mbwa wa Africa (dogs of Africa) Animal Rescue was founded 2013 by Sandra Kliegelhoefer and Jens Fissenebert. Later that year Manu Nargiso joined in.

Mbwa wa Africa is a Non Profit Organisation aimed at improving the situation of dogs in Tanzania,
focusing on the Arumeru Region. Mbwa wa Africa aims to rehabilitate stray dogs,
increase the health conditions of dogs in the area and as such also improve the local
health situation. Mbwa wa Africa was founded after repeated requests from people in
the area, claiming that the current animal rescue services in place are not able to
deal well enough with the situation.
Mbwa wa Africa is a non-profit organisation and will fund its operations with donations.
By rehabilitating stray dogs and by neutering, deworming and vaccinating dogs in an
area, Mbwa wa Africa doesn’t only aim at creating better circumstances for the dogs in
the area but also to create more awareness among people how to take care of their
dogs and improve the general health situation among dogs.

Our first priority is to find loving and forever homes for the rescued dogs. Secondly, to inform about our work, increase awareness of the situation of the stray dogs and reach out to people, who are willing to offer help of any kind.
We started off with building 5 kennel to accommodate the dogs and puppies we kept on finding and couldn't fit into our house - occupied by our 8 rescues already- anymore, until they would be recovered and ready to make a new owner happy. These 5 kennel are now sometimes the temporary home for up to 22 dogs...
