Mission Statement
The Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary is 25km east of the capital city Harare in Zimbabwe, Africa. Founded in 2012, the Sanctuary’s mission is to provide a safe haven for animals in need, as well as to promote conservation and animal welfare in the extensive rural area of Goromonzi. The Twala Trust is a non profit organisation. We work to improve the quality of life of companion animals in rural households in the area surrounding our Sanctuary, assist with human/wildlife conflict in this area and provide sanctuary to displaced, injured and abandoned animals of all species. We provide practical, hands-on solutions for animal welfare and conservation measures in the Goromonzi area.
Description
A Unique Animal Sanctuary in Africa
The Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary is the only sanctuary of its kind in Zimbabwe, with a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre that incorporates an exotic pet rescue, a farm animal sanctuary and a kennel-free dog rescue. We run a longstanding, grassroots community outreach programme known as Doggy Tuesday, offering free veterinary care and support to rural companion animals. We are well-established in Zimbabwe and operate an ethical, hands-on, animal focused Sanctuary. We do not breed, buy, swap or sell animals.
Our role in the community is to help animals in need, providing veterinary care and support to our community in the process. Where possible, we release wild animals back into their natural habitats, and arrange adoptions for dogs and cats into suitable homes, although many of our rescues will live out their lives at the sanctuary, receiving the very best care possible from our dedicated team of Zimbabwean staff.
The work done at Twala is genuine and ethical and our volunteer opportunities provide a unique and rewarding experience for animal lovers.
